Mac being super slow during start up

My Mac is booting really slow from the time power button is pushed to the home screen. Any idea's?

What version of OS X are you running and how much RAM do you have installed (Apple Menu>About this Mac).

OS X 10.8.2 - 8 GB DDDR3

8gb of RAM with 10.8.2 should be plenty to ensure good performance.

I guess doing a re-install of the OS might help, but if not maybe it needs to be looked at by a technician.
