How much RAM do you have?
One thing I have seen in the past, was a user who had a P4 2.8 that took over 5 minutes to log in. I logged in with my own credentials, and it brought up the desktop in about 5 seconds. Investigation found over 43,000 emails in his inbox. I had him do some deleting, and he actually got it down to 40 emails that were worth keeping. Anyway, all that stuff had to load every time he logged in, so the extra time was spent creating virtual memory space on the hard drive. After he cleaned up his inbox, his login only took a few seconds.
Worth looking at.
