384MB ram seems a bit low.. (nowadays)
My old duron 800 has 1GB.
I've not noticed PD starting more slowly than it always has on my feisty or etch machines...
you can always try oprofile to see what is using up what (CPU wise)

what distro are you on?Ubuntu Studio Feisty 7.04. I usually do load some GNOME things ocasionally and I wonder if they are staying in the system... I'm running a P4 1.6 GHz 384 MB RAM so I need to keep the memory freed up. I will look into the running processes, I haven't taken the time to find out what is what yet. Application startup (including pd) is slow and the pc doesn't seem to be paging or anything to disk...
