You can try ktrace'ing the slow-start processes to see if that yields anything interesting. However, it would be more beneficial to have these binaries compiled with debugging symbols, then use gdb to get backtraces from them when they're starting up. That said, the problem may be some bad configuration pieces. You might try creating a new, clean account, and see if the problem shows up there.
