This one remains, esp. when locate (this has been turned off already) and beagle (this one not) run after first boot. It even remains when considering something else, desktops. Take a wall clock and measure the time a computer needs to boot, login and start 'cmd' under XP, and use the same hardware specs to do the same for linux, some wm and 'xterm'. Try the same within VMware, which caches away a lot of useless disk access, so you mainly see the processing wall time.
