machine is boggy at start up so was going to wait for a full reboot in the morning.

any ideas for that slow starting? it actually starts good but then will bog for 10 minutes about 15 or 20 minutes into whatever I am doing. also firefox keeps messaging me at the bottom of the page "mozilla firefox seems slow... to... start. and has two buttons "learn how to speed it up" and "don't tell me again"

but even other non browsing functions bog at start up - I was trying to scan some documents this morning and it took forever for every click to react. or for menus to show up. know what I mean? scanner worked fine, but it would take forever for the action to start or for the image to open up...
