Interestingly, once I get past the initial startup slowness, the
xserver seems to overall be a bit faster. New windows are created
nearly instantly and repaints seem to be faster, particularly with
remote apps displayed back over the internet.
I'm not sure where to even begin looking to help you with the startup
sluggishness. FYI, I'm on a 4-core 3GHz Mac Pro.
