So I updated to High Sierra, and now it takes a really long time booting up. 47 seconds!
What's your guys' boot up time? Why is mine so slow?

iMac 2017
4,2 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB RAM
256GB SSD
Radeon Pro 575 4 GB

46 seconds with FileVault enabled. Definitely slower than before.

17 seconds after a clean install of High Sierra. 2017 Core i5 7600 iMac, 24 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD.

Note that plugged in peripherals can sometimes slow down boots. Also, make sure your boot drive is pre-selected as the Startup Disk in the System Preferences.

27 seconds on 2010 MacBook Air with a 1.8ghz C2D and 2gb of RAM. Down from 42 seconds in Sierra.

47 seconds is hardly enough time to get a cup of coffee, so what's the problem?

My Mac mini (late 2012 with SSD) went from 58 seconds in Sierra to 4.6 minutes in High Sierra.

1 minute and 10 for me

Haha, this is ridiculous. After the update today it now takes 1min5s. Great... What are they doing?
