Okay, I think part of this was because I was unaware I was running bootchart and bootchart-java. So at the end of the startup process, Java was eating all my CPU and disk I/O. Without those, I get different choppy transitions: either the GNOME panel appears on top of the xsplash graphic until it

I get a black screen with a blinking cursor for 6 seconds or so (it used to say Starting up... before I upgraded to GRUB 2). Then I get boot messages that slowly appear in Ubuntu's console font. Only late into the boot process do I get the xsplash progress spinner. I'm attaching the boot messages

I have a similar issue, except that I wouldn't describe the transition as abrupt because that would imply it happened quickly. Here's what I get: xsplash disappears, and I'm left with a black screen with two white bars where the GNOME panels will be. 15-20 seconds pass before the desktop

Gah! I just upgraded to Intrepid and this happens to me too. Left and down aren't much slower at repeating than the other keys, but all the keys are quite slow. I can get at most about 6 keypresses per second. By twiddling with the keyboard repeat controls, xset r rate, and (oddly enough)
