Applications slow to start up

Hi,

Well I have found out what was causing the slow down.

Seems to be the NVidia graphics driver. Once I changed it back to the
one provided as part of the Beta "nv", rather than the one from the
NVidia website, the performance of applications starting seems to have
gone back to how it should be.

Thanks for all your comments.

Regards
Matthew
