Not sure what your problem is. However, I have found that on my office network if I use DHCP to get my TCP/IP information, the computer boots and runs really slowly. The resolution is to put the IP informaiton in statically. So... you may have a similar problem or you may want to check out your networking as well.
Also, if you haven't run "repair disk permissions" in Disk Utility in a while I'd definitely run that... I run it after each and any software installation.
Haven't seen this problem noted by anyone else anywhere but I can confirm it on a Pismo upgraded to a 500MHz G4 (Powerlogix) running 10.2.6 and an original Powerbook G4 400MHz running 10.2.6. We're running a dual-1GHz MDD G4 server w/ OS X.2.6 Server as the DHCP server.
If anyone has any thoughts on how to use DHCP without this slowdown I'd appreciate it as well (although I'm not optimistic about a resolution... hoping Panther will resolve it)!

I guess the subject states it best but more information helps. My Pismo G3/500/1gbRAM/10.2.6/20gb(stock)HD/Airport takes an incredibly long time to boot as well as shut down. I am startled at this due to its normally snappy OS 9 boot and shutdown processes. When my PowerMac 8600/g3-400/272mbRAM/10.2.6 using stock (and older) scsi hard drives beats the pants off of the Pismo, I know something is wrong.
I had noticed it first when Jaguar was initially installed. It has never gone away or improved. I did try the PRAM reset (several times in a row) several times but that made no appreciable difference. It is about 1:15sec grey w/apple screen and then in less than 15 seconds will be at login screen. Once the blue background hits, things are very snappy.
On shutting down, from login screen, it takes almost 45 seconds to go black. From desktop it takes as long as 1:20sec. This to me is ridiculous. In OS 9 it would shut down before the trackpad button had even gone 'click'.
Any helpful ideas? Thanks for list brain power.
