I don't know if it was brought up, but it could also be his network
settings.

XWindows, even local to the box needs to be able to talk to itself on an
IP level.  If your network settings are messed up, your computer will
still start in to a GUI, but it will respond dog slow.   Sometimes with
no error message, telling you why it is running slow.
