Hi,
For about the past 3-4 days, all applications started within Gnome, such as Ximian Evolution, Mozilla etc seem to take about 15 - 20 seconds to launch. This was not the case when I first installed the RHL beta. In fact I thought the application startup was far faster than RHL 9 was.
What could cause such a slow down?
I have not installed any applications in the past 2 weeks, as most of what I require is present in the base installation.
Any assistance on this would be most grateful.
Regards Matthew Winter

If you haven't already, I would suggest running top to see if anything is chewing up CPU cycles. Pressing "M" will sort by memory usage, and you can check if something is hogging memory as well.
Of course, this is only a possible cause if your machine has been running for those 3-4 days.
