3) You have used a cvs CMF version too long ;-) My guess is that 7 minutes
on a P233 to login is normal, if you are using Plone that uses
PageTemplates, and CMF1.2 that does not have support for delayed cooking.

There is a HUGE difference in startup time/first access time when using CMF
cvs with delayed PageTemplates cooking support.
