But in my case it took EVERY TIME additional 40 seconds before I could login. This system boots in runlevel 3 and I do startx when I need GUI. So, actually this delay occurred just after all daemons have been started and during login process. Playing around with services I've found it was preload installed a while ago who caused a lot of disk IO usage. Disabling it resulted in a faster boot process (with no delay at the end of it) and less memory usage on a booted system. But now X takes about two times slower than before... -- Hiisi.
