Please send a M-x report-emacs-bug complaining about those problems.
Emacs-22 uses the X toolkit scrollbars by default (obviously your build
comes from a distribution which overrode this default) but Emacs-23 will
probably use Gtk by default, so we'd want to know about such problems.
Also maybe we can do something about the slow startup.  I remember around
the Emacs-21.1 timeframe, a lot of optimization took place to reduce the
network-communication needed at startup, but I'm pretty sure we can do more.

Any day now,
