Really slow panel after an upgrade?

[Andrew Robinson]

I am still having this issue. The problem seems okay until I hibernate
and un-hibernate my laptop. I tried killing all of my users processes
and then restarting X, but it was still extremely slow. Only rebooting
my laptop seems to have any affect.

Any ideas?
