I honestly don't mind the slightly longer startup times for apps since I keep most of them open until I restart my computer.

I would like to know, however, if this tradeoff has been worth it. Does anyone have any statistics on whether this has helped reduce the amount of malware ran by users?




For some reason these high startup times apply also to any shell script I write, any binary I compiler from the command line.

I read somewhere that xcode can bypass that because it's registered as a developer tool. There were some instructions saying that adding terminal.app to the developer tools pane in security preferences would solve my problem but it didn't.

Butchering ocsp by fiddling with /etc/hosts still didn't fully solve the problem: it still takes 200-300ms to start any new binary the first time. But at least it's no longer up to several seconds in case of bad networks.
