Why is it that some applications like x11, ratpoison, and firefox come up
instantly while applications like xmms, emacs and thunderbird take about
five minutes to load? I've tried several things to try and fix this.


   - I've deinstalled packages to see if ports was any better and vice
   versa.
   - I've cleaned out /tmp, /var/tmp, and /var/lock and checked free
   space.
   - getting the vanilla sources from the origional FTP site and
   compiling them

I've tried everything I can think of and I'm wondering, why is this
happening and what can I do to fix it? Thanks for your time and
consideration.
