presumably you are doing this from the console before running startx?

what's your system load straight after login?

uptime will tell you

% uptime
11:03AM  up 33 mins, 6 users, load averages: 0.37, 0.26, 0.17

if any of your load averages are above one then you have some issues


% top -d1

will tell you which processes are consuming resources


if it's nothing out of the ordinary (i.e. one hungry process you can do 
without) then your choices are :

build a custom kernel (see handbook)
man 7 tuning
& buy more CPU power
