I went through a period of the same thing.  The machine would just freeze
for a couple of minutes at the end of startup, then suddenly start working
again.  At some point, it stopped doing this.  I never did manage to figure
out why.  Maybe checking versiontracker.com or macfixit.com would provide an
answer.
