I had F17 cold booting to a usable Xfce desktop in 3.6 seconds by following Harald Hoyer's guide [1]: Startup finished in 1470ms (kernel) + 2130ms (userspace) = 3601ms But F18 and F19 now take 16 seconds on the same system: Startup finished in 1.061s (kernel) + 15.299s (userspace) = 16.361s The slowest component on F19 is this new "wait" service: 10.102s NetworkManager-wait-online.service This service doesn't seem to do anything other than wait until the network is fully up. This really skews unfavorably the boot time reported by systemd-analyze. But if I mask that service and reboot, everthing still appears to work fine and systemd-analyze reports a boot time of only 6.2 seconds. I wonder if there are other oddities like this that are skewing the statistics reported by systemd-analyze.
