I was updating my Mac and found the link to the ArchiGuide article on disabling the temporary Amyuni driver (that I couldn't locate earlier in this thread):

Guys, I'm running OS X 10.3.8 on a G4 1.33ghz powerbook with 1 gig of RAM and just to get Archicad (v9, newest build) to get to the "start ArchiCAD" menu takes two or three minutes.
It looks like the pdf virtual print driver problem is for windows only, and when someone asked "what about mac" someone else answered "look back about ten posts," but there's nothing on here I can find about slow mac start times other than a post that says that the wibu key doesn't matter on OS X.
Am I misreading this thread in some fundamental way? Is there some basic step I should be taking to fix the ridiculously slow start times I'm experiencing?
Any ideas/help?

Thank you,
Brad O'Donnell

when was the last time you repaired permissions or ran a clean-up utility such as cocktail? simple things like running cocktail on 'pilot' every month can keep an OSX system purring along at great speed as opposed to grinding to a halt whilst it tries to maintain logs and caches from 12 months ago and navigates through it's files who's permissions have been altered, swapped, changed and generally shat upon from a great height by each and every installer that you've run since day one . . .

I'll certainly give cocktail a try, though I run all scripts on MacSweeper every week....

Thanks
