I'm starting to get the impression that people on this list aren't quite grasping what I'm saying.
The Wallstreet chimes, then does nothing for almost a minute. NOTHING. Not a blinking question mark, not a blank gray screen, but a DARK (a.k.a. NOT operating) screen, no hard drive noises, no cd noises, no noises whatsoever for a minute after the chime.
Basically, the computer fails to operate or function in any computerly way for about 45 seconds after chime. This is a very, very long time. Agonizing. Embarrassing when I'm booting in front of PC friends and get "why is it taking so long to boot"

A pair of my Wallstreets suffer from the same problem. I suspect it does have to do with a dead PRAM battery.
In case people aren't understanding, this delay occurs AFTER the boot, but WELL BEFORE the ROM starts to boot the Mac. It could be corruption somewhere in NVRAM. I wonder if an OF reset-all would solve the problem?
