Is it just gnome-terminal? What about some other GNOME application? Does
gedit also take a long time to start? If so, it is worth seeing if
your /etc/hosts file contains a reference to your own hostname pointing
to a loopback IP. To find your hostname run:
hostname
Your hosts file should have an entry similar to the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 hostname
Naturally, if you have also set a fully qualified host name, that would
look like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 hostname.hostdomain hostname
If you want to try debugging this yourself, you might want to try
running strace to see where exactly all the time is being spent.
strace gnome-terminal
