Slooooowwww??

Since my upgrade to Leopard, my MBPro, 2.33, 2 Gig RAM, is slower to boot than my XP box at work, that has waaaaayyyy too many startup items
Took all items out of my Start Up section in preferences.
Almost 2 mintues to a log in screen .
Anyone else seeing this ?
I am not 100% sure, but I just do not remember it being this slow beore this.

I have the exact same spec MBPro as you. Mine starts up much quicker than Tiger used to. Although I did do a erase and install for leopard.

John
I am having similar issues on a Macbook pro,
but they are progressively getting better.
I think doing an upgrade it just needs time for the Finder to index certain things...yeah slowly getting up to speed

Slow boot as well, but improving

I just installed Leopard a few hours ago, and I too had the eternal reboot problem. I can hear my hard drive working overtime though, so I am pretty sure that it is indexing and once that is done it should be fine.

Gets worse

Tried to open System Preferences, and it locked up.
I could not force quit.
I rebooted, with Leopard in, went to Utilities and repaired permissions.
While doing that, I got a message that they had been repaired but also got this:
Warning: SUID file "System/library/coreservices/remotemanagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

Hmm, system is runnning VERY unstable.
Ideas?

I would do an Arcive and Install rather than an Upgrade. Even better, an Erase and Install and then transfer via Migration Assistant.
