Mysterious lag when starting Xterm and Vim

I have been experiencing serious lag in two situations.

1) When I run xterm using alt-f2. In contrast, aterm and mrxvt open instantly.

2) When I run vim in a terminal. In contrast, sudo vim is instantaneous.

Does this sound familiar to anybody? I'm kind of at a loss as to how to diagnose this any further.

Well, if anybody else runs into something similar, I deleted the .fontconfig directory in ~ and everything got snappy again.
