performance - programs very slow to start in ubuntu - Ask Ubuntu


i'm running ubuntu 16.10 + cinnamon on workstation. machine old (probably 7+ years), still i7 24gb of ram. have geforce 210 , i'm running nvidia binary driver, version 340.98.

starting programs seems take forever. example, started uxterm. took 3 seconds draw window, , 21 seconds (!) before had prompt type at. (subsequent launches quicker, on order of 1 second draw window, , 8 seconds prompt.)

any thoughts on might able speed stuff up?
