Running kernel-2.6.9-1.11_FC2 is insanely slow

Further to this.
I did an update to Fedora Core 3, hoping that it was specific to the one
kernel. With no noticeable improvement.
Just so people have a better picture here, the boot time, to get to the
actual login prompt of the GDM, under 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 from the grub
selection screen is roughly 70 seconds.
The time to get from the grub selection screen to the "Hit 'I' for
interactive startup" message at the start of the boot under the newer
kernels is 50 seconds! Everything else is similarly affected.
If anyone has ANY ideas, please let me know.
