In the same period of time even mplayer slowed down: I was able to watch divx movies and now I cannot anymore.
Another problem popped up along with the prevoius ones: the login prompt (I use gdm) take a lot more. I suppose this is caused by some process in the background (if I'm not wrong, the startup isn't finished when gdm comes out). I still have to check.
This is all. Hope this helps (I don't have enough money to change computer and I need to watch divxs... :-)

Running DevFs daemon displayed on the screen for 2 minutes, 19 seconds. 28 seconds later, tty1 went blank as X started and changed to tty7. IOW, the devfs startup message is gone considerably before X ever starts. OS/2 Warp 4.52 boots in 79 seconds. W2K boots in 123 seconds. 9.0 takes 205 seconds to X login manager, 220 seconds to tty1 login prompt, 270 seconds until KDE is done loading, not counting time spent typing in a password. Total 9.0 boot time, 4.5 minutes, more than half of which is devfs init.
