I was thinking: does kate really need to do those stats at startup?<br><br>According to Dominik, most of the info is cached, and the stat&#39;s are only to see &quot;if anything changed&quot;.<br>But imagine I&#39;m opening a C file: Kate already knows that there is a C file highlight, and opens it, and then it notices that it is a new version -- no stat was needed for the other files.<br>
<br>I think the stat would only be needed when opening a file for which kate didn&#39;t have an highlight, or when opening an highlight and kate notices it&#39;s missing, and that could be done only when needed, not at every startup.<br>
