It doesn't. It seems, though, that it is GNOME that is painfully slow to start any thing up, and when it is doing so, it hampers everything else to some extent. Slow as in it takes minutes to load programs instead of milliseconds....
Gnome at one time (RH9 days I think) was painfully slow to start after a hostname change, until it udpated itself in all places - or whatever it was doing. Is your hostname & /etc/hosts still intact? If it's been up for a while, I would expect it to resolve itself already. That's how it used to was anyway.
Nothing in the log files? top show anything of interest?
