Since Maverick Upgrade startup performances are not so good as previous versions. In particular after I log in desktop is really slow to become available to use. From grub to gdm everything is fine and fast as expected. How can I find out which elements slow down desktop loading?

I've heard about the possibility to play videos using graphic processor of video card instead of normal processor. I've read a few tutorial but I haven't see improvement in performances, processors continue to work a lot, so maybe I just haven't enabled this feature. I'm wondering if there's a simple and quick method to do it and which are practical advantages, no technical or theoretic. I have an nvidia 8400 and I use proprietary driver (260.19.06).

When on login I click on the user, immediately shows password field but before I can type it I have to wait some seconds, sometimes even 5! I don't see this problem on other computers that I have, only one has this behavior. Anyone has this problem too? How can I check which components slowdown login time?
