I was having this problem on my Zoostorm (the one with the dodgy wifi
driver) - and I also suspected the wifi driver but I read a bug report
that blamed Wine dependencies - removed Wine and all its dependencies
and it improved the login time drastically.

Then I got a load of freezing and system crashing (that's right, no
keyboard, total lockup).

Terminally lost patience with 12.04, everything I read indicates that
12.10 is just as bad so I upgraded to the 13.04 alpha. So far, I've had
less bother with the alpha than with 12.04 ;)
