Lethargic application

Executing the Synaptic Package Manager, which I get via the System
Settings item on the main menu, involves waiting for a long time before
it has finished initializing and returns control to me. It's in the
range of 30 seconds. It's connecting to the Internet so determining
why this is the case would be difficult. But it is consistent; it
happens every time in invoke the program.

I have accessed the Package Manager using a Nusence distribution on the
same device with very little delay.

Any ideas?
