As far as I know, before GIMP 2.8.6, it didn't querying new plugins on every launch. It only did so when there were new plugins installed. When 2.8.6 came about, GIMP would query all plugins on every launch. With 2.8.8 it seems to only do this with user installed plugins. I assume this a bug but I'm not entirely sure as I didn't really pay attention to the startup screen prior to 2.8.6.

Is this happening to anyone else, or is it just me?

No this is indeed a known problem under Windows. We thought it was fixed in 2.8.8, but it turned out some plugins were still queried, as you mention. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711491

You're right, GIMP 2.8.6 was the first version with this buggy behaviour. We fixed the most annoying part of querying *all* plug-ins in GIMP 2.8.8.
Anyway, Python plug-ins are still queried on each start and this is filed as the bug Jehan Pags mentioned. We're already working on it.
Does the buggy behaviour you described happen for *all* user installed plug-ins (not only Python scripts, but also Scheme scripts (*.scm) or i.e. the Ufraw or Beautify plug-ins)?

You're not alone.

Kind regards,

Sven

Please, to avoid confusion, be careful with the wording. In the context of GIMP:

- Scheme files are scripts - Python files are plug-ins
- Never call Python files scripts
