Lion startup/Boot time

[i-aamir]

Dear all,

My Lion startup / boot time has increased by 10 seconds despite all apps being closed before shutting down!

In SL it was around 26 seconds and in Lion it's around 36-37 seconds.

I'm running it on a 2.7ghz quad core iMac 27".

Can anybody help and advise on what tweaks it may require to speed up again?

Many thanks

What type of hard drive do you have?

My boot time has slowed considerably as well :-(

As I said on my thread, I was thinking that the 'Resume' feature of Lion made it a little bit slower. It loads instantly. That's a nice feature to have. Plus, extra 10 seconds will not waste your time that much.

Same! on my mid 2010 Macbook Pro 2.4ghz 250gb 5400rpm HD

My startup time is horrendous as well. And my entire mcb runs like a turd now Not too happy with lion so far.

This doesn't sound good. It's like when we moved from Tiger to Leopard!!!

wow... My start time decreased just a little bit on my intel ssd.


Edit to say that I did a FRESH install of Lion. Did you guys do fresh install or update?

It's happening to me too :/ I have no idea why.

My boot time on my iMac 27" standard 1TB HD is actually faster, and shut down as well.
