Today I had a very high system load because I used many applications at the same time (VirtualBox, totem, firefox,...). The load was so high, that the system almost didn't react anymore. Then I killed VirtualBox and the system became a bit faster, however it was terrible slow compared to the usual behaviour though I killed all large applications. After a reboot I got the message:

/dev/mapper/cryptsetup1 is not ready yet or not present, slow system

However the system works but very very slow.

I tried to disable and reenable encrypted swap as described here: http://www.logilab.org/29155

Now the error message is missing but the system is still very very slow.

Any idea how to fix this?

Check your kernel log at /var/log/kern.log. What storage medium do you have? A SSD or HDD? – Lekensteyn Oct 13 '11 at 19:43
This is almost certainly a bug in the boot process of Ubuntu, probably in mountall or some upstart job. – Dustin Kirkland Feb 19 '12 at 00:45
This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions here. – fossfreedom Mar 01 '12 at 23:24
