Closing down apps in XFCE = slow

Anyone else noticed how it takes 0.5 - 1 seconds to close Gimp, Firefox, Ooo?
It can't be my hardware, I have i3 530 @ 3.5 ghz, 4 gigs RAM.
Running Arch 64 bit version w. ext4.

I don't recall experiencing anything similar in other distros (centos, fedora) I've tried and closing down an app in Windows XP is also instantaneous.

It's not a big deal but if anyone has an idea, let me know.

Edit:

If I open Gimp via the terminal and then close the terminal, the shutdown is very very snappy.

Re: Closing down apps in XFCE = slow

Firefox takes more like 5 seconds to close here (with 22 open tabs.)
