I think it's generally fast enough, I was just wondering if there are
other tricks. I have played with bootchart to see what's happening -
mostly it seems to be limited by I/O, so maybe time for a new faster
drive.

Didn't know about fastboot, thanks and is there a way to reset
readahead, so that it starts again? Over time one adds and removed
services, so that might be worthwhile.

Probably not justified much, but I do turn my machine off every day.

Thanks for your suggestions.
