Hey guys. When I bring up dashboard for the first time after booting up the computer my widgets are a little slow to load. When I mean slow it takes about 5-10 seconds for all of them to be fully functional, whereas they used to appear right away. Could it be that one of the widgets is slowing everything down, or have I just not noticed that they take this long to load after slowly adding more and more?

I'm running: 3 sticky notes, calculator, dictionary, wikipedia, weather, iTunes, calendar, countdown, lava lamp, and iStat Pro.

Thanks for any input!

You should probably use your activity monitor to see if one is taking up a significant amount of memory to run. I used to run a lot of widgets too and found that it slowed my system considerably and also took a while to load all of them. Good luck.
