I have a Macbook that is a few years old. Core2Duo, ect., it a nice machine that runs fast. The issue that has been building up recently is load time from the login screen to the desktop. Until about 2 weeks ago I would turn on the computer, log in and the desktop would show up almost instantly, it's since become a 2-3-4 minute load time. Once it gets to the desktop everything runs fine.
I have found what I could online, cleaned out the PRAM with Command-Option-P-R key, emptied the cache folders, repaired permissions, cleaned the dock down to a few items, and disabled start up programs (all I have is RightZoom loading on start-up anyways).
