Slow startup

[Carl]

When I turn on the PC it boots up normally to show the
desktop. But, before the startup background programs are
loaded, the system is idle for 2-3 min. I tried runing
msconfig and turning off most of the Startup programs,
but that didn't solve the problem. I would appreciate
anyone's help.

If it's of any consolation I am seeking help on exactly
the same problem.

Also have this problem PLUS once started, all programs
run at a snail's pace. Can't find a solution.
