Well, tried everything suggested. Defragging the Steam directory with Game Booster seems to have done some good. But it's still over a minute. :(

It takes 2-4 minutes for me, this thing is usual with steam.

Nothing, EG. Even shut down all security software, still no improvement. But I doubt login time would increase with time.

And thanks for the defrag suggestion.

Re: Steam related discussions

how many games installed in your account? I ask because that does affect performance.

try an absolute clean install. uninstall, sweep your registry, remove remainder steam folders. defrag the HDD and then wipe blank space (3 passes).

reinstall steam.

if it's not on steam then I wouldn't really consider buying that game. NFS HP 2010 and Dragon Age 2 is an exception (was getting ME 2 free or something).

Updates on payment: I tried with a MasterCard and a VISA debit card (both international) and both failed on Steam.

@ Faun: How do you pay for games on Steam?

My card worked in July, don't know about now. I used a VISA Debit card. But one this is that I had to re-enter my card details each time for it to work. Some how the details already entered in steam caused card failure but manually entering card details solved the problem back in July. I can't say anything about now since many banks are updating Debit card security now a days here.
