I ran systemd-analyze on three recent installs of F16. Laptop: Startup finished in 1028ms (kernel) + 2518ms (initramfs) + 29845ms (userspace) = 33393ms Worst offender: 2134ms ntpdate.service Desktop: Startup finished in 2016ms (kernel) + 3615ms (initramfs) + 31713ms (userspace) = 37344ms Worst offender: 9455ms NetworkManager.service Server: Startup finished in 2229ms (kernel) + 3941ms (initramfs) + 50937ms (userspace) = 57108ms Worst offender: 14371ms ntpdate.service As I run NTP on all these, I have now disabled ntpdate on all. My gut-feeling after these install has been no improvement of start-up speed. I.e. I have not said to myself "wow, how fast it started". So the next question will obviously be, how can I use the data gathered with "systemd-analyze blame" to improve start-up speed? Besides finding started daemons that I have no need for, like removing ntpdate, that I just realized was enabled on my systems, even when using NTP? Lars -- Lars E.
