You should avoid comparing performance on different computers and
different Ubuntu versions. It is wasted effort. Different computers
have different hardware so you cannot expect it to be the same. Each
was made to work with Windows and neither was made to work with
Ubuntu. Ubuntu does not sit still. Big changes are made from one
version to the next. With 10.04 they dumped HAL and moved to Plymouth
to improve boot times. This causes problems for some computers with
certain hardware. Plymouth hands over to GDM or KDM. In the transition
from one to another the graphics driver may change from vesa to a
better one.
What is likely happening here is that it is not finding a graphics
driver or having a problem. with handing it over to GDM/ KDM.
If this was my computer then I would boot into text mode by removing
quiet --no splash from the end of the grub line by pressing F6 in
grub. Then I might play with some of the boot parameters under F6 or
google for boot parameters for Ubuntu.

Hellow...
I am an experienced ubuntu user, and I but I have come across a few
problems on the news ubuntu 10.04. When I downloaded the image and
burnt it with 8x speed, like I always do.
When I boot, CD-rom stops and the screen remains blank, just AFTER the
splash screen dissappears. It remains blank at the point when the
desktop is to appear, just after the splash screen. I am using an HP
Pavillion laptop, the ze4900. However, the same cd worked on a dell
optiplex desktop, another old IBM desktop. Nothing like this has ever
happend with ubuntu 9.04 or ubuntu 9.10.
So... this is what I did... while I was booting... I pressed ESC.
Then I pressed ALT+CTRL+F1, which brought me to tty1 console. As the
cd hadnt finished booting, it kept displaying information until the
point it stopped. The last two lines of the kernel report read like
this:
*Starting plymouth console... failed
*Disconected from plymouth.
Help please...

Even easier, hold the [SHIFT] key down while GRUB is loading and it will
boot to the GRUB2 menu. Then select the most recent kernel with
(Recovery Mode) and from there select a root console with or without
networking.
