Yes symlinked also here, I guess I didn't explain that clearly in my 
message using 'duplicates' :-)

In fact:

pacman -Ql | grep lv2

shows that /lib/lv2 is the install location of packaged plugins which is 
the LV2 spec for system wide ($PREFIX/lib/lv2)

The fact that tenacity complains about 'duplicates' is definitely a bug 
(reported) - even because plugins are completely disabled in the user 
preferences

As for Audacity besides disabling _all_ plugins except for the ones in 
the 'Native Audacity' ones and selecting 'skip plugin scan' option in 
the preferences, it takes around 40 to 50 seconds to start, I'm not 
really sure what else to do.

By comparison Ardour fires up in around 7 to 10 seconds after selecting 
an even rather 'heavey' session including plugin scan etc. with the 
added UX benefit that it show's what it's doing in the process

And again by comparison mhwaveedit opens and loads a 1.3GB (around 1 
hour and 15 minutes @48kHz 24bit) in what feels like instantly.

And btw after taking around 50 seconds to load audacity reported that 
1.3GB test file as unreadable (sic.) and suggesting 'raw import'
