Same problem here. Tested in three different computers (one of them with SSD, the other two with HDD), and boot times are more or less 2x in all of them.
I have been testing the betas and pre-releases of ubuntu 9.10. Boot times were really fast up to version alpha-5. Starting from alpha-6, boot times increased dramatically (this was the first version including changes related to upstart). I have written some additional information on a blog entry covering some aspects through the different alphas releases. You can read it here: http://ospatia.blogspot.com/2009/08/novedades-en-ubuntu-910.html The goal of upstart was to reduce boot times, but obviously there seems to be a problem and upstart is not achieving its goal. -- Very slow boot up times (2m 30s) on Karmic 9.10 compared to 25 secs with Jaunty 9.04. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
