Quick followup to unpanic: I did a fresh reinstall of my laptop a few days ago, which apparently got rid of some cruft and the changed swap partition, and I'm back at 12.9 s: http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/bootcharts/donald-maverick-final.png Still worse than [1], though. It however shows nicely where there is still optimization potential, since most of the time this is neither CPU nor IO bound. It also shows some new things which crept into the boot process: * The dreaded loadkeys/sh processes is still there, and worse, it's there twice * There is a run-parts block which runs lsb_release, update-motd-cpu, check-bios-nx, awk, apt-config, and update-motd-update. Surely we don't need all this during boot? * tclsh?? I need to find out where that comes from; this will hit lower-power systems a lot * usb-modeswitch was something we introduced in maverick, but it's not supposed to run on systems without an USB 3G modem. (I do have an internal one, but it doesn't need to be switched) * (note) the desktop part of the chart is totally useless, it misassigns names to processes. I suppose the big gdm-session-worker process is actually compiz, I don't see that anywhere else. This should be some nice fodder for further optimization work.
