Make sure your /etc/hosts file has both the eth0 IP address with real
hostname and 127.0.0.1 localhost.  Sounds like maybe it can't determine
its hostname.  GNOME will warn of this condition at login but KDE may
not.  You'll see all kinds of weirdness if that's the case.

Most applications launch on my Athlon 1GHz, A7V133 in well under a
second.  Evolution, one of the slower apps, takes 2 seconds from the
time I click the icon to when its up and fully functional.  It only
takes 5 seconds to launch on my Pentium 75 MHz.
