Applications slow to start up

[Matthew Winter]

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
