First I was running 6.3 but I upgraded to 7.0 thinking that it might of solve the problem but it didn't.  What amazes me is, I've got ubuntu installed on the same machine and it only takes 3 seconds to start, also it only takes 3 seconds to start in windows.  Evolution running like this is completely worthless.  Any ideas what might be causing this?  Please respond to my email address also.

No.  I'm saying that the tasks the FreeBSD loader performs takes longer
than the ones performed by the Linux loader.
