delay time to bring up the windowing system, but didn't know it
would apply to 6.3 ....

Since I don't run any windowing system on any of my FBSD boxen, I may be
way off here, but could this load time be due to DNS timeouts of some sort?

Many things hang if they can not resolve names, perhaps this could be
part of the issue?


Hmm, maybe I should restart my dhcp daemon. thanks for the idea.
