Comment 12 for bug 83074

On edgy-eft i have the same problem and solved editing /etc/hosts

older /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 laptop

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
---------------------------------------------------------------------
new /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost laptop
127.0.1.1 laptop

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

This is an old bug in Ubuntu...many programs slow down theire startup
