The apt database is not updated automatically here but you are right: The huge I/O load is only visible the first time I login after the machine was booted. Today it too ~100 seconds to login. When I logout+login it takes about 10 seconds and disk activity is almost zero (8GB RAM here). I assume that some disk caches are checked for consistency. I never had similar problems with KDE 4.
