KDE on my FreeBSD machine is very slow to start up application. Once the 
application is open it is very responsive and user input. The K menu is also 
displayed with speed it's just that any application seems to take several 
minutes to open.

I'm fairly new to *nix so maybe I've missed something obvious. The only 
thing I can think of is that maybe there are a lot of pocess running in the 
background that have a higher priority than desktop applications. Any ideas?
