Description
Hi all,
we experience very slow startup (from 1 to 5 minutes) on windows with QGIS 2.x (last test with 2.6.1) when using remote profiles with --configpath option.
Whole topic and process monitor logs are available here.
This is related to QGIS trying to create files in C:\\Windows\\CSC\\v2.0.6\\, a system folder dedicated to store offline data, and that has special permissions..
Second startup is sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

Not sure if this is really QGIS problem. If you use --configpath to an ordinary path on your local disk, would it be still slow?
My impression is that the system/network configuration for your shared folder might be the reason for slowness.

I am confuzed, I run the same tests as yesterday, and I have no more that file creation error.
Everything goes well wherever I move qgis profile. Nasty problem.
I will try to reproduce it again..

New tests today, problem is back..
I found several things:
- Microsoft CSC cache is due to offline sync of some files. No part of qgis was involved in sync but I disabled sync, and now the error pointing to C:\\Windows\\CSC\\v2.0.6\\ disappeared.
It is now replaced by several errors locating ressources that do not exists.
Among them, I found a repetitive pattern occuring all process life time, and related to QGIS.ini file.
First reading to actual remote_path\\.qgis2\\QGIS\\QGIS2.ini path is OK, but then QGIS tries to read old 1.x QGIS.ini or QGIS2.ini in other locations:
- remote_path\\.qgis2\\QGIS.ini
- C:\\ProgramData\\QGIS\\QGIS2.ini
- C:\\ProgramData\\QGIS2.ini

hmm I'm seeing this now too and it only just started. Very strange. Seeing the same stuff in the logs.

I think this a nasty issue, hard to reproduce. I would keep that open until that black magic est solved
