I have been using slackware-current for about 2 months now, and up until
now my system has been running really fast and stable. I am using XFCE and
kernel 2.6.6. but recently i have noticed that applications take longer to
start up than they used to. Over the years ive noticed this issue with
SUSE and when i did a format/reinstall everything ran smooth for a few
more months. Is there anything i can do without formating my partition to
get slackware back up to the speed it used to be?

PC specs:
AMD XP 1.8ghz w/ 1gig memmory

Thanks
