My suspicion is that you have something crazy in your shell init files (e.g. ~/.bashrc).
...or there's something wrong with DNS - all Gnome (and KDE for that matter) applications take AGES to start if DNS is failing.
Forgot to mention that I did the test immediately after a fresh install so if there is something crazy in the shell init files, it wasn't added by me
DNS works since I can browse the web using Mozilla
During install, I enabled the firewall and allowed ssh in

I am working on tools and techniques to better measure the performance of desktop applications with the goal of improving performance of desktop applications. xterm would certainly be considered in the desktop. Could you do the fill out the following information and post the results of these simple experiments?
These are still pretty rough procedures, but it will give us some ideas where to look.
What is the hardware configuration of the system:
Processor (output of /proc/cpuinfo): Memory: Harddisk drive: Video card:
What is the software configuration of the system:
kernel being used (uname -r): rpm versions of packages (rpm -qf `which xterm`):
In each case you will need to exit the newly started xterm once it has started.
What is the output of:
/usr/bin/time xterm
What is the output of (note that the output is going to be split between the current xterm and the new xterm:
LD_DEBUG=statistics xterm
Also get a memory map of the xterm:
xterm & # will print out pid of background process. use the number below cat /proc/2201/maps > /tmp/xterm_maps
As root run oprofile to find out which executables and libraries are being used:
opcontrol --setup --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux-`uname -r` --separate=library opcontrol --reset; opcontrol --start; xterm; opcontrol --shutdown opreport
If there is a complaint about opcontrol not being able to find the kernel image, replace "--vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`" with "--no-vmlinux".
