I saw another post complaining of the same symptoms in past week 
(your's too?).  I also am running a laptop (Sony VAIO, 750MHz) and 
as you can see below it took about 11 seconds to load to the blank 
page and exit again with the command shown.

This time reflects the second invocation, not the first (it was near 
25 seconds). I have trimmed the spell checker file and I'm using 
the XFce desktop if that makes a difference.
