My Time Machine is generally unreliable.
I've got a 1TB HD connected through a new Airport Extreme Base Station.
It always ran great with hourly backups with Leopard. It always backed up without me even knowing pretty much, but it's like a chore through 10.6.
Specifics:
90% of the time, it hangs at "Making Backup Disk Available" and eats up about 1GB of RAM and 50% of the processing power trying to make this disk available.
So since it usually sucks, I tell it to "Stop Backing Up" and it takes like 45 minutes to finally stop, and eats up more RAM and processing power than when it was just trying to find the disk.
On a fresh reboot, if I tell it to "Back Up Now", it will usually mount the disk no problem and do a backup, but rebooting daily is kind of a pain.
Any ideas on that?

Also, my new 13" MBP(2.26GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200RPM Seagate HD) now takes longer to boot with Snow Leopard than Leopard. The boot time ranges from 50 seconds to 1 minute, whereas I was between 35-45 seconds under Leopard. Shut down time is also something like 25-40 seconds, whereas it was near instant in Leopard.
I'm not just coming on here to complain about 10.6, because I like the additional features and general snappiness(once booted), but just wondering if there may be some kind of remedy for my issues.
Thanks!
