I have a new SSD which is working great but to boot up my MBP , OSX is still not that fast. Since my first Mac laptop I have not done a clean install because I just didnt want to go through the hassle of loading all the programs etc. back in. Could that be the reason its not that fast to boot?
I have a clean install of Win 7 on my bootcamp and it opens and close really fast.

Has Mac OSX just become bloated compared to what it used to be so its much slower to boot?
What can I do to clean it up if thats the case to make it open faster?

  2. Click [cmd]+[i] or select the File/Get Info menu item in the Finder.
  3. Read.

What do you consider to be fast? How many seconds?

I noticed a huge difference in boot time when I upgraded to an Intel 520 SSD with SATA3 from a stock HDD on SATA2. Of course, I also did a clean install and only using about 20 GB on a 240 GB SSD.
