Fred,
maybe it is because of prelink (or lack of it).. If your machine has 
been just installed , maybe prelink didnt run yet... It helps to improve 
startup times of apps by prelinking the necessary libs to the 
application... You can run the prelink cron job now to see if it helps 
improve performance.. It is under  /etc/cron.daily/prelink . It will 
take some time to finish , as it tries to prelink a lot of applications...
