Hi Christopher, I've loaded the 16.04 version that you pointed me to alongside my current 14.04 version. I videoed the booting process so that I could compare the startup time. 14.04 took about 57 sec from GRUB to desktop display. 16.04 takes about 52 secs from GRUB to desktop display. That's still longer than version 13.04 which I think was under 30 +/- sec to startup.
Now that I have it, I'll keep trying out 16.04. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of the testing.
