Well if there are new modules it takes almost 30 seconds, without them it's 4 seconds consistently. I did a few runs and each time it isn't any faster.

At work it starts in less then 10 seconds, but there i don't use auto-login. This shows that context switching can really canibalize performance.

I can do it faster in console, but that is runlevel 3 so the above must not necessarily apply __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
