Boot up time getting slower?

[dfusion-]

Hi there🙂

my mac is having some boot up time problems...at first is was booted up like in 20 - 25 sec , but now it takes 40 - 45 seconds!

i know the differents are minimum, but i would like to know if there are some tips to improve boot up time 🙂

Edit: Using snow leopard on a white macbook🙂

I'm kinda with you on this one. My MacBookPro running SL 32bit, takes a lot longer then my MacBook Leopard to book and to get ready to launch apps. I launch Safari and Mail at the same time upon boot up and the MBP takes 2x the length the MB does. 🙁

Is there a way to find out what is starting up at boot up and what is / isn't required?

At this point it depends what screen on startup is taking the most time.

When you see just the grey apple-computer is doing something
When you see just the grey apple and spinning gear,the computer is doing something different
Whe you see a blue screen-the computer is doing something different.

Really I did a clean installed of SL,for me I did'nt notice any difference in startup times but again I never timed it.

I can just say your computer startup is normal I suppose but who knows.

You can boot up the computer in verbose mode

Which lets you see behind the gray apple whats going on 😛

Do you have a external HD or printer connected?

Really if you can't find anything that that stick it.Your best bet is just to accept it as normal. 😎

Onyx did wonders for the boot time on my MBP (running Leopard).
