Super Slow Response Times

[Anthony Papillion]

Hello Everyone,

All of a sudden my system is doing certain things VERY slow. Well, really
two things: initializing my desktop and shutting down. But, let me explain
what I mean. Once my desktop is fully loaded (icons are displayed, wallpaper
loaded, etc) I can't click on anything for about 1 minute. This includes the
menues. Nothing responds. Then, after a minute, it all works fine. Then,
when I go to shut down, I click the icon on the right hand of the bar to
bring up my shutdown box and it doesn't respond for about 2 minutes. Once
again, everything freezes (except my mouse). Then, the box comes up and I
can shutdown normally (though I do notice that whatever was in the bottom
middle of the shutdown box is gone...hibernate maybe?

I've checked the logs and nothing seems to be failing. Can anyone offer
guidance?

Thanks,
Anthony
