That's the first thing I tried. It starts quicker now (a minute or two rather than eternity) but not within seconds like it did before.

Thanks

I recently had a similar issue with my Macbook Pro running Yosemite.

I booted it up in safe mode (holding return), then went to utilities, then disk utility. Then repaired all the permissions.

Now it wizzes along.

Thank you. Kind regards,

    My Macbook Pro which runs Mavericks on a SSD started up very fast
    until recently. Now it takes ages to boot up. I think my kids
    might have installed something weird on it. How do I diagnose the
    problem?

    Cheers
