Thanks. Very interesting. So it appears that a graph "normally"
takes about 0.5 seconds to appear, takes marginally longer after a
reboot of Windows, and takes a LOT longer on first use after a
fresh install of current gretl.
I'm not sure what to make of this, but perhaps Windows is running
some sort of security-sniffing on a newly installed executable?
(But I'm not aware of any substantial changes in either gnuplot or
the GTK stack between gretl versions 1.8.6 and current.)
It would be interesting to see the output of tasklist.exe when a
graph is taking 27 seconds to appear.
