I happened to format a rootfs partition and another one for /home with

other computer that uses an entire drive formatted with Reiser4 is nice
and silent as well.
How large are the disks? The long boot time may be (at least partially)
caused by bitmap loading – try mount option “dont_load_bitmap”.
This won't help you with seeking *after* boot, though. It will actually
make it worse.
Do you have a proper IO scheduler set? What does
“cat /sys/block/sdX/queue/scheduler” say? (Replace sdX with the correct
identifier.)
Is there anything interesting in the system logs? I'm assuming there isn't.
