Default Switching users hangs


I've just installed Beta2 and am running it on a AMD Athlon 64 3400+ chip
with a K8V-X mb with the latest drivers. I have 1GB of memory and 256MB of
video memory with a NVidia GEForce FX 5700LE video card.

When I switch users it can take up to 6 minutes to either get to the user
list or load the desktop settings for the new user I've selected. It doesn't
seem to have a pattern as to where it hangs and sometimes it's a little
faster but it's always slow....just REALLY slow sometimes. I did see another
post about themes being a problem and the if you turn them off you can
improve a black screen hanging that another user was having but wanted to
get some other opinions before I try that. Is there something else I can try
or is it a known bug??

Thanks in advance.

Is the system joined to a domain? Could it be that you are loading user
profile from a domain and the link is slow?
