are you running nautilus, or did you just install it?

something that makes me suspicious is the fact that i get this message
when i start nautilus:

/dev/dsp: No such file or directory

(this stems from me running devfs and not having a sound module loaded)

it may be the case that nautilus is grabbing the sound device, and the
other apps are trying to start esd or something.  this is a common cause
for app startup time slowdowns.
