After upgrading from Xquartz 2.7.9 to 2.7.10 of Mac OS X El Capitan, local launching of xclock is now very slow. On 2.7.9 it took a second or two, on 2.7.10 it now takes about 20 seconds or longer. A second launch is just as slow. Launching other X11 apps such as xeyes does not seem to be impacted; it still launches in about 2 seconds on 2.7.10. Launching xclock from a remote Linux client still only takes about 4 seconds on 2.7.10. While launching xclock is not critical to me, it does look like there may be a new issue in Xquartz 2.7.10 on El Capitan. Thanks for the help.

I just updated to Xquartz 2.7.11_rc1 and xclock still takes about 20 seconds to launch. A second launch is still slow.
Then comment in the fontconfig bug. The change addresses the issue for me...
Actually, the fix didn't get into 2.7.11_rc1 like I thought. I'll be getting out a 2.7.11_rc2 with it soon. Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for the update. So all future comments should be posted to 98338 and not to this bug?
Yes. Please try 2.7.11_rc2. If the issue persists, add comments in #97546
