Startup problem with 10.5.2

Hello All

Hope this is the right place for my silly question. Any help would be very, very appreciated.

I run OS X 10.5.2 on a Dual 2 Ghz Mac Pro. Problem described below was identical when running 10.4. I have two HDs and ample ram (3 gigs).

On startup, my Mac takes ages (about 2 minutes) to find the OS and display the apple symbol on gray screen. When previously using 10.4, it was finding it sometimes reasonably quickly, sometimes taking quite some time too.

I ran Disk Utility but no joy.

Also, i find that generally, my mac is sluggish. The new OS was installed from scratch (as in: format and reinstall all apps, only copying back in the User files after reinstalling).

Anyone any idea why?

Thanks!
