Doesn't pick up steam

[Dunamis]

Anyone else experiencing a very sloow Steam loading time?

It can take almost 5-10 minutes before the steam main window comes up. It doesnt take any cpu resources, hardly any net activity & no hd activity. It just sits there in the process list not doing anything as if its waiting for something. After it loads up everything runs ok.

Any ideas why?

Note: its running on barton 3200 with 1 gig ram.

Yeah... It just took atleast a minute to load just now. Closed it and restarted it and only took about 30sec. Closed it waited a minute and now its about 5seconds.
