It depends on what programs you are loading and how long they take,
ages is not an option here when explaining a problem.
Do you have an active swap partition check with free, if in doubt
send the output of 'free' with you next mail, and please define slow
as in seconds, and say which program you are loading.
Sloow problems may not always be memory or speed related, things like
hostname resolution can cause painfull delays in starting some
daemons/programs.
