After reading this comparison

http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/21155

I did some testing on my laptop (Intel Centrino 2 GHz - 1 GB RAM - 7200
rpm HD).

First of all I removed the following applets from the panel:

      * Main menu (I replaced it with the old standard menu)
      * Tomboy

leaving there the following basic configuration:

      * Standard GNOME menu
      * Windows list
      * Notification area
      * Battery applet
      * Opensuse updater gnome
      * NetworkManager applet
      * Volume control
      * International clock
      * Show desktop

With this configuration, I logout and login again measuring the time
required to show the complete desktop. The results are the following:

      * Basic configuration: 11 seconds
      * Basic configuration + gnome main menu: 13 seconds
      * Basic configuration + gnome main menu + tomboy: 20 seconds
      * Basic configuration + gnome main menu + tomboy + system monitor:
        21 seconds
      * Basic configuration + gnome main menu + tomboy + system monitor
        + deskbar + weather applet + application killer: 22 seconds

Measurements are unreliable both for the method (logout and re-login)
and for the difficulty to obtain consistent results, but it seems tomboy
is the main cause the long login time.

With kind regards,
Alberto
