Boot up and shut down speed

[Krazy Bill]

I did not read the discussion

I know. And that's why there are so many "Do a clean install" remedies being suggested here without merit.

but hopefully we will see that sorted next year when the 10.8.3 finally will be released..

I will assume sarcasm here but you may actually be right. 😱

10.8.3 will be out this year and possibly in a few weeks time

You obviously haven't been following the other threads about the slow shutdown time here. There is a bug in ML.

A clean install has nothing to do with it.

I was talking about the *startup* time.

It was sarcasm, and I do hope that the 10.8.3 will fix all the bugs given the time it is taking to be finalized...

When did you do a clean re-install?

If you've never done a reinstall, that sounds about right for a 5 year old 5400rpm drive, with a 5 year old install thats been through multiple upgrades.

As others have said, a clean install doesn't help ML. In Snow Leopard, and Lion, the boot and shut down speeds were crazy fast. I didn't see slow speeds until I upgraded to ML. I even added max RAM after ML upgrade. Didn't help.

My wife's is still crazy fast, and she won't let me upgrade her iMac to ML. HOPEFULLY, these speeds will be addressed in 10.8.3. One can hope, can't one??

Have to disagree that a clean install doesn't help. I did a clean install of 10.8.2 recently and it significantly improved shutdown times.

I then installed the 10.8.3 beta's 12D58, 12D61, 12D65 and suffered shutdown problems.

The latest build 10.8.3 12D68 has for the time being solved my shutdown problems.

Twice I have done a complete clean install and no fix for me. Same old 20 second shut down. I also have no added software or apps installed when doing the testing. With 16 GB of ram. From time to time I would get a 3 second shut down, but that would be rare...... 🙁
