> >>  One possible reason is the use of a serial mouse on COM2 instead of
>     COM1.  If you have a serial mouse, Windows will first attempt to find
>     it (with great persistence) on COM1, before it looks on COM2.  If your
>     mouse is on COM2, move it to COM1.
> 
>     Using a temporary swapfile instead of a permanent one for 386 enhanced
>     mode also slows down the startup process, but not to even nearly the
>     same extent as the serial mouse problem.
