my mac has been starting up slower recently, im sure its to do with 10.8.5. update for Mountain Lion.

i have a SSD and usually it boots up in 13 seconds. now i think its in the 30 second zone.

it starts up, and stays blank grow for longer than usual before the apple logo comes.

does anyone know how i might be able to 'fix' this? is anyone else experiencing the same?

EDIT***

nevermind, i think i solved it.

i reselected my SSD as the startup disk.

i did recently create a fresh ML install on an external drive, must have been it.
