I would have to agree.  You've got something seriously awry.  I run a 
1.8GHz Core Duo with 2GB of RAM.  I constantly have Lotus Notes, WDSC 
(sometimes to copies), iSeries Access, Firefox, and more running.  If it 
took 3 minutes to boot my machine, I would be looking for what's making it 
so slow.  I can't say I never see a performance hiccup, but overall system 
response is very snappy.
