GNOME has a number of open source bounties available for completion, ranging in difficulty and payout. The following Optimization project is worth $100:

Add image data to the icon cache

For the GTK 2.6 release, a memory mappable icon cache was developed. This allows us to avoid scanning lots of directories on the startup of every application. However, one thing it does not do is to store the actual icon data in a shared file. This means that common images (consider the “x” on a close button) are duplicated many times.
