I have spent some time researching how to decrease my boot time. I made several changes to my grub boot parameters. However I could really use some help to understanding what else I could do. I spent some time looking at other treads on this site about this topic and make some tweaks they suggested but it made it worse. HERE is the direct link for my bootchart.

Fifteen seconds? 15secs? That is really impressive!

And you actually want to optimise that??? :-O

I would say: take a system back-up now (You're definitely user type 4!) and don't touch anything!!! (except maybe remove bootchart as that takes time as well)

Your boot is faster then 99.75% of all users on this site and faster then 99.999% of all user on this planet!

Congratulations!

  • It just seems like it could be faster... I have seen em down in the 5s range. What is a user type 4? lol – Dylan Mar 19 '15 at 22:50
  • The boot chart and the user experience are a different thing. Could you time your boot with a stopwatch? (don't count the BIOS screen: start counting when the BIOS disappears and stop when the User log-in shows.) The system continues booting while you're still entering your password, so that should be taken out of the picture and if you count it like that, it's pretty fast! Mine is 19 seconds when ntpdate gets run and that means: everything I need including Unity & network are completely ready. – Fabby Mar 20 '15 at 08:43
  • Here is a you-tube video of my computer going from on and restarting in under 24 seconds so I feel the boot chart is pretty accurate actually. This includes the time for my desktop to show and me being able to move the mouse and do whatever I like. It isn't sluggish when it boots or anything. There is no"post processing" taking place. – Dylan Mar 20 '15 at 08:46
  • That's a full restart! Have you looked around on Macs and Windows machines? Even with SSDs? Pretty impressive... I'm going to time mine now: 40 seconds... Including BIOS, including checking for updates (there were none). I'm going to update my answer! – Fabby Mar 20 '15 at 08:54
