Gnome became slow

Hi,
yesterday I've noticed that many gnome applications became suddenly
really slow to start up (15-20 seconds, before they took 2-3 s). 
Also the entire gnome startup became slow (around 2/3 minutes).
I'm running gnome 2.16 (compiled from ports and up to date) on FreeBSD
6.2 RC1.
I think this happened after a power outage, but I'm not sure.
All non-gnome applications still run fine (apache, postgres, firefox,
mplayer...).
Gnome-terminal works fine but takes a long long time to open new tabs.
I recompiled gconf and gnome-session but nothing changed. I've also read
the faq "why gnome is so slow...", but my configuration seems ok. I
can't understand what happened and what to do to restore gnome's
original speed. 
Any help or suggestion is really appreciated!

Thanks
Leonardo Midolo
