Long Pause after Unlock

[xmetal2001]

I'm having a problem w/ my T43.

Whenever I unlock the computer w/ the fingerprint scanner it will accept the fingerprint, then sit at my wallpaper for about 3 minutes before showing anything. During this time there is no harddrive activity and the cursor moves around just fine.

Any ideas why this is happening?

are you using wireless internet/lan connection?

[xmetal2001]

Yes, I am connected to my university's wireless.

Hmmm, that doesn't seem to be a problem since I can resume with it and still be connected...it could be a background process that is doing quite a bit of work

That's what I was thinking because it hasn't always done this, but I can't seem to find anything that could be a culprit running in the background.

Update: I think I figured it out, there were a couple McAfee Virus Scan services running even though I told it not to start up(it was causing issues). Manually killed them and the problem seems to be gone.
