Unfortunately the top output does not show any particular processes
consuming a lot of memory, so this indicates that the delay is not CPU
bound.
Note there is a bug about a very similar problem here:
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14857
This user reported a similar slowdown when starting the user session
after authenticating. After analysis, it was determined that the
slowdown was caused by the $HOME/.gconfd/saved_sate file growing too
large. If you are seeing a slowdown when starting your user session,
then does deleting this file improve things?
If you are seeing the slowdown when the GDM login GUI is being shown,
then try deleting the /var/lib/gdm/.gconfd/saved_sate file. The
/var/lib/gdm directory is the $HOME directory of the "gdm" user, and
the login GUI runs as this user. So if this file has grown too large,
this could be your problem.
I suspect that this might be your problem because in the logs you
provided a few weeks ago, there were GConf errors similar to those
reported in comment #7 of the above bug report.

The suggestion from Vladimir solved the problem. I had an issue with
long delays when logging into the computer with ssh which I solved by
specifying the IP number of both the host and the client. The hosts file
looked like this after my modifications:

::1 opensolaris opensolaris.local localhost loghost
127.0.0.1 opensolaris.local localhost loghost
10.40.137.187 opensolaris.local localhost loghost
10.40.137.93 authority
The computer I'm working with is named "opensolaris" in the hosts file.
The problem here is that opensolaris connects to the network using nwam
which means that it negotiates the ip number through DHCP. Normally, the
router identifies each computer by the MAC address and gives the same IP
number to the computer whenever DHCP is invoked. This is not the case
with the opensolaris machine whose name is not even identified on the
list of "LAN Computers" in the router (I'm using a dlink router). The
bottom line is that for each DHCP negotiation a new IP number is
assigned to the opensolaris machine rendering the "hosts" file faulty
after each restart. The delay problem was solved by removing the entry
10.40.137.187 opensolaris.local localhost loghost
from the file. The good news here is that ssh doesn't delay with this
entry removed.
Robin.
