    Poor startup

    In a few words: I am not pleased with Kubuntu's startup time on my laptop.
    It takes about 40 seconds. I use a 5400 rpm SATA 3GB/s 2.5" HDD - installed as the only OS-. I know it'd get better with a SSD.
    I have proved some distros: Ubuntu, Xubuntu (30-33 sec) and Linux Mint (35-39 sec); but definitely Kubuntu is the best for me in experience. I also had Windows 8.1 with 13-14 seconds mark.


    Kubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Trusty Tahr 64 bits.
    KDE: 4.13.3
    Kernel: 3.16
    So, if anyone knows how to improve performance or if it has been solved in newer OS versions, would be of great help, at least hope it to be ameliorated.

    Bootcharting ?

    BootCharting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootCharting
    Boot charts allow the developers to see how fast a machine is booting and to pinpoint where the bottlenecks are. People interested in helping out can install the bootchart package and report the results on this page...

      The difference between 30-33, 35-39, and 40 is not much, really. This is about what I'd expect with 5400 RPM spinning rust.

        Thank you, SteveRiley, and sorry for my ignorance, you're right. Without "fast startup" Win 8.1 takes 39 seconds.

          These are the boot times i am getting with 15.04 on a modestly spected laptop with 8 gigs of RAM ,and a SSD.
          Code:
          gerard@gerard-Satellite-L750:~$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 3.669s (kernel) + 7.407s (userspace) = 11.077s
          Awesome!

            No need to apologize. It isn't a well-known feature.
