This seems to have started happening with the 10.4.10 update, but I
had a bad crash and had to do some file system repair about the same
time so I attacked that first, then followed up on some reported
problems I'd googled in other applications that I was using, and it
took me a while to narrow things down to APE and then MOAB 1.1.

With MOAB 1.1 enabled my computer can take several minutes to 1/4 an
hour to let me log in, and applications periodically slow down and
almost lock up. You can see a delay from 12:58:48 to 12:59:52 between
SideTrack noticing that the UID had changed and the first message from
loginwindow, and the last message during login doesn't come until
13:01:06.

After temporarily disabling APE login was pretty much instant, and
after disabling MOAB 1.1 and re-enabling APE the whole process still
completed in 20 seconds:
