It is actually the I/O that is slow and faster CPU doesn't help much. Problem is when 2 or more programs are trying to access HD at the same time, and that happens on the first boot.
Indeed. As CPUs get faster, the amount of time applications spend doing IO approaches 100%. Beagle isn't started at boot though; the cron job is started 15 minutes after the first boot, and the per-user daemon is started something like 2 or 3 minutes after login (to avoid slowing it down). So slow boot times (which I agree have gotten worse) have nothing to do with Beagle. There is some data and analysis on the boot process here: http://en.opensuse.org/Boot_time In fact, in there I say that a parallel boot process doesn't help much (and in fact may even hurt us) because most of the time is spend doing concurrent IO.
