50 seconds on a 2009 Macbook Pro, 2.53 GHz, 8GB RAM, I'm wondering if there are any ways to increase that, does removing unused apps help?
 
Specs are in my signature.

It takes about 20 seconds to load to the login screen, and after I type in my password it take another 3 seconds for it to be usable completely.

Okay, so now when i restart or turn my computer back on it literally takes 5 to 10 minutes to boot up. It just sits on the gray apple screen. I don't know why. I'm not certain but i think when i randomly click the track pad and press keys it makes it go faster? I don't know.. Anybody have any idea what i should do?

I have a standard, new macbook pro, running lion. Bought it refurbished from apple.com about 6 months ago. Other than this issue it works super great.. And I have full apple care, just don't want to go through all the trouble making an appointment and bringing it in if there is something that i can do myself.
