The "slow"-ness starts from the time GRUB loads the
kernel. Sot it's like you see GRUB's "Loading the
kernel" messages then pauses for a long while with no
apparent activity -- at least the disk led lights are
not lighting up, so there may be some CPU intensive
thing happening -- then after a minute you see the
"*2.xx version..." message. This is just the
kernel+initrd loading. It is not yet at the stage
where the services are being started.
When you get to the services startup stage, each
service would usualy take less than a second to a few
seconds to display [OK} or {Failed]. In this case,
each service takes about 30 seconds, at least.

No ntp server running. It just runs ntpdate at
startup. Not a big thing.

I'll look at doing the last two items. Thanks.
