Thanks for all the quick replies. No, I have not installed XQuartz. The version from Apple, 2.1.6 doesn't have an app_to_run in preferences.
So, I will install the latest XQuartz and then try the patch from Lenore. As for why my current XQuartz is slow? Don't know, but here's the system logs during the 2 MINUTES it took to start up: May 20 07:05:42 mbp [0x0-0x693693].org.x.X11[13177]: X11.app: main(): argc=2 May 20 07:05:42 mbp [0x0-0x693693].org.x.X11[13177]: argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin May 20 07:05:42 mbp [0x0-0x693693].org.x.X11[13177]: argv[1] = -psn_0_6895251 May 20 07:05:42 mbp [0x0-0x693693].org.x.X11[13177]: Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC.
