Hardware is fine. I use more apps than you do. One of them, the UPS daemon (upsmon) takes a full minute to start and verify things. Plus, opening the files I was working last time in, say, openoffice takes time. And I have to open a lot of apps, manually.
Also, my ups monitor hibernates the machine in case of power failure.
How com upsmon now takes a full minute to come up it never used to when i ran a UPS back in the TCP/IP Packet days when i ran GB7NJR ,
It depends on what ups you have and the driver it needs. Mine has an internal serial port to usb converter, and a slow internal procesor that takes its time to respond to commands. Upsmon does a number of tests, and each takes about 8 seconds or so. I reported this somewhere. Total time is 1 minute. In fact, I had to increase the timeout of the daemon or it would fail.
I run the Openoffice quickstarter all the time as well i have Kmail , Korganizer , Kaddressbook , Kpgp all loading this is on KDE4.3.1 with 8 activities setup and running each with it's own wallpaper so something sounds a little off there .
Even then, I have to click on openoffice, choose the file(s) to work in, and open it. Then I have to reopen the web pages I was looking at the previous time. Start a few manual scripts. This takes time, and some effort on my part - compared to just power up the computer, and have everything instantly opened and ready. It depends on how you work. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
