After reading a "misconfigured loopback" comment above, I checked my network interface settings, and sure enough, I had configured a static IP address for my ethernet interface and the slow startup would happen only when I didn't have the ethernet cable plugged in.
I mostly use my wireless interface, so I set the ethernet interface back to "roaming" and the problem was solved for me.
So, I suspect the long load times are due to a network-manager timeout or something like that.

I checked my connections settings, and one of they have static IP... Changed it to Authomatic (DHCP) and now all its working ok!
Well, reading an old post I can reduce the time from 25/30 seconds to only 6 !

I was seeing very slow Gnome load times as well.
