Sure enough, 0.38.1's startup was significantly slower than previous releases. Good news it looks like CVS is much improved, although it's still slow compared with 0.37 and before.
Yes, there was an extremely stupid error that caused lots of unnecessary updates for groups and texts. I fixed it recently, hence the speedup compared to 0.38. But the slowdown from 0.37 to 0.38 was not caused by that update bug (it's present in all versions, inlcuding Sodipodi) but by the new renderer; if you fix the update bug in 0.37 it will also speed up twice or more. Optimizing the renderer is a big TODO item which I hope someone will tackle one day.
