Mac OS X 10.3.6 Special Report: Slow Startup: Causes, solutions
Some users experience unusually long startup times after updating to Mac OS X 10.3.6. The startup process, for afflicted users, seems to stall right after login. [MacFixIt]

If you’re having issues with delayed login since you’ve upgraded to OSX 10.3.6, then you should check the above article out. It dramatically helped in reducing my issues on the old B&W G3 450 that the family uses.

I plan to clean that out tonight and go back to using Suitcase for font management.
