thanks for the suggestion, but it definitely wasn't anything to do with X. The slowness started from the very beginning of boot, right from when the kernel was loaded. All the services and loading of modules took a Very Long Time! I did infact look at top, but the system was mostly idle. This is what made me think it was a kernel issue. Plus, my fans weren't running, as they would be if there was something taking up cpu resources. > look in logs I didn't think of that!! Maybe there's something in dmesg that will give me a clue...
