Of what you are describing right now, I'd say the data you are 
providing is thin. Hard to help with little to go on.

Pine, the email client? BitchX, has something to do with IRC? 

Classically when a network application takes a long time to start its
doing DNS lookups that are failing, timing out, rolling over to your
next DNS server, etc. About 90 seconds per timeout. What do you have in 
/etc/resolv.conf? What is your hostname and how is it defined in 
/etc/hosts and/or the DNS server? 

If its DNS, then its most likely the apps are looking up the hostname to
get your IP address(es). Else they are looking up servers to connect to.
