slow login, app launching, etc

[Bagus]

 Hi, is anyone able to help me problem solve on this? Is this the right
forum for this kind of question? If not, could someone please send me a
pointer to an organization that might be able to help. I have a small budget
to get this fixed if anyone wants it.

 I'm running FreeBSD 2.2CAM-19980716-SNAP on bagus.org.

 I've been running it for a few years. Recently, after normal performance,
 I've been experiencing extremely slow login prompt appearance, extremely
 slow application launching and what bugs me the most is the extremely slow
 response time of my java-web server. OTher functionality is ok. It serves
 html files just fine and also basic command line response is fine.

 Anyone out there have any clues as to what it could be? I'm kind
 of guessing  it has something to do with some name resolution somewhere,
 but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks,

 Bagus
