When logging onto a domain, prior to reaching the login window, your PC loads any/all scripts & policies that apply to the machine itself. Upon logging it, it then applies any/all scripts & policies that apply to the user. If you have set up a roaming profile and haven't in fact enabled folder redirection in a GPO then you will be copying files you don't need to across the network as well as the ones you do need. From the sounds of it, you've got scripts and/or policies applying to both the machine and user, and that's what is making your logon so slow.
