I recently updated from KDE 4.3.5 to KDE 4.4.3 and now my computer starts up extremely slowly. I have looked through the logs and it pauses for over a minute shortly after logging in. Here is the section from /var/log/messages, starting shortly before the pause and continuing to the end of the boot process:
