"startx" very slow

As noted in an earlier post, I solved my "nvidia problem" via a changed parameter in the BIOS. 3D acceleration is working great now - 2550 fps! However, when I enter "startx" from the console, The screen goes black for 15 - 20 seconds before the nvidia splash screen appears right before kde launches. Any ideas on what might cause this?
