With Jaguar (it didn't happen in 10.0 or 10.1), two of my apps (Mathematica 4.1 and OmniGraffle) take a lot (5 minutes and more) to launch when my iBook is connected to a network (either to a windows network or directly to a cable modem).

If I unplug the network cable and force-relaunch the apps, they start immediately. But if I plug the cable back then the problem repeats even with switching from other apps to the problematic ones.
console.log consists of a lot of

Any similar experiences? Any hints?
