My laptop's (a year-old Lenovo T61) boot time varies between 0:46 and 1:28, according to /var/log/bootchart. The usual time is around 1:00, and the differences are mostly due to services I had enabled at one or another time (apache2, samba, mysql). There are some outliers (13 minutes) that, I think, indicate a bug in bootchart. (I think it keeps generating the chart until I log in via GDM. If I let the laptop sit idly for more than 15 minutes at the login screen, it eats multiple gigs of RAM and hours of CPU time trying to render the monstrous svg: http://launchpad.net/+bugs/218499) GNOME login time annoys me more than boot time. It takes ~35 seconds, during which the disk is busy doing I/O. Marius Gedminas -- We'll show a small example here with one user calling another.
