    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

    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.

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

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