just an fyi... I too have a clean install of F16 and noted it taking
forever to launch dolphin and noticed that my many days running
evolution and firefox were dragging the performance way down and quit
them. This seemed to restore expected behavior. I'm keeping an eye on
evolution. Firefox w/ Flash is a known pig.
