new ubuntu user. after boot (boot is quite fast), opening applications such as firefox, libra, system settings, takes close to 10 seconds to open. after the application is loaded in RAM, the application opens fine.
the system feels snappy, quick. when i have two FIREFOX open, unity is snappy in showing me the two windows side by side. but upon bootup, loading the application takes 10 seconds.
there is not much hdd activity. fresh install.
its the same for system settings and browsing system settings. when system settings is opened for the first time (10 second), and i click for example Color, it will take quite long to open the color settings.
hardware: i3 4gb ram radeon 5770 250gb sata gigabyte h55m motherboard
i am using ubuntu straight out of the box, no propriety drivers. 64 bit. i have reinstalled OS, and still the same.
