I'm getting concerned about my log-on to desktop time of 30-40 seconds!

It used to be 10 seconds.  A while ago & possible* after some updates it
slowed to the above [as it has been now for some time].  This has been
my experience soon after [& still using] 12.04.  
It used to be: 9 secs when good on this pooter. 30 secs when first
slowed, now up to 40 secs - no recent updates would account for it.
Once loaded everything is fast & hunky dory.
Instinct tells me wifi is slowing it - but no proof whatsoever.

I cannot pin down what happens to slow it down or, indeed, what magic
occasionally brings it back to <10secs.

All ideas [apart from get a new pooter, update to 12.10, move to 13.04]
gratefully received.

Running:
Precise [12.04.2]
Dell Dimension E520
Graphics card added is nVidia GeForce 210 PCIe
Kernel is 3.2.0-37
Memory 2GB
Processor Intel Core2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz × 2
nVidia driver 304.64

I'm sure there's a 100 other bits of info that would be helpful...
please ask if wanted.
I'm also sure a boot logger *might* help - but darned if I can remember
name of it!  Used it a long time ago but name eludes me, can't find it
in synaptic searches - doh!

Thanks in anticipation.
