GNOME 3 with GDM: Sometimes slow to get to login screen

With GDM on all of my computers, getting to the initial login screen is sometimes really slow (30s to 1m), but other times it can be really fast (down to 3s). I can't seem to pinpoint what's exactly causing it to be this slow, either. GNOME itself always boots up at a constant speed and is fast. Anybody have any ideas?

I'm not all too sure what logs to post either, but I'll post whatever is useful...

Did you set your hostname?  (what is the output of hostname    ?)
