You might try taking my suggestion to the next level. You can hold 
the shift key down while the Mac restarts to keep unnecessary 
software that normally loads and runs at OS X boot time from doing 
so. Then hold the shift key down again as you log in (as described 
above). Some software, like Norton Antivirus, loads up its stuff at 
boot time so that its affects are global for all users.
