I noticed that logging in takes significantly longer than hardy.
After entering password it takes about 2s to show the wallpaper, but about 25s to load gnome. Previously it only took approximately 5s to login in hardy.
I did some tests and gnome-failsafe takes just as long, but wmii takes less than 1s. I also removed as many startup programs from sessions as possible.
Are other people experiencing this and is there a quickfix?
System:
New install of Ubuntu 8.10 from CD
T7500 2GB Ram (no swap) Seagate 7200.3 (relatively fast 7200rpm laptop hd)
EDIT (Workaround)
The bug has to do with compiz-fusion. In order to login quickly go to System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects and set it to None.
