[Qgis-developer] There is a way to eliminate the "Recent Projects" startup screen ?

[Matthias Kuhn]

Are you sure that other programs save additional information just for
the one last recent session (or even a memory dump)?

I think it would be good in general to speed up project loading, I'm
pretty sure there is room for improvement in performance there. But the
bottleneck there will need to be properly analyzed before making
decisions about how to fix it.
