Even more interestign. I hope your PATH is set to something simple and you're not scanning all those mount points looking for stuff during a load - that would really complicate things. /mnt/anything shouldn't be in your PATh. I doubt it is, but I think we're on the right track in helping you diagnose your slowdown - and it seems related to disk subsystems.
