KDE Slowness - SOLVED

I recently (as of a few months ago) installed arch. Recently, I've noticed a weird problem in that programs aside from Konqueror and Firefox take 30+ seconds to start (sometimes failing), but after that work fine. Furthermore, memory usage seems high (1.8/2 GB). I'm running KDE 3.5.8, with assorted apps, on kernel 2.6.23 (stock).

Killing memory hogs doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Re: KDE Slowness - SOLVED

Well, apparently the problem was that lo was not being started on boot ...

Bringing up the interface fixed the problem.
