Hi,

 Platform/OS: MAC OS X 10.5
 SAGE Version 3.0.2, Release Date: 2008-05-24

 Just after installing Sage, the startup time on my system increased
 significantly (it is now 2.5 minutes!).

Ok. Where did you install Sage? Does uninstalling Sage fix the
problem?

 I have nothing in the Login
 Items Systems Preferences. The only items in the /Library/Startup
 Items/ folder are a tap folder and a tun folder.

Sage has no component that hooks itself into the startup sequence of
OSX. Are you running any other extension to OSX? How do you know that
Sage causes the problem?

Cheers,

Michael

Another possibility is that the original poster's computer is running 
Spotlight (or Google Desktop), which is making a huge index of all the 
files in the sage install. On a slow computer this could temporarily 
noticeably impact performance.  I'm probably wrong and grasping for 
straws though.
