The additional time required at startup is required for the Macintosh
to test the additional memory you've added.  To confirm that this is
the case, however, try _restarting_ (instead of powering off and then
powering on) and see if the Macintosh is still slow.  The Mac does a
memory test when the machine is started up cold, but not when it is
restarted from the Finder (restart command), the monitor, using the
programmer's switch, etc.
