Thank you. I hope we can find the cause of this slowdown. I notice from bootchart-makefile-readahead.png that there are one startpar process that seem to run longer than expected. It is started from rcS.d/. This is normally a problem with some daemon failing to close its file descriptors when it starts. Can you run 'ps -ef|grep startpar' to see which process this is? These should be reported as separate bugs. Not sure it affect the boot speed, though. I notice netagent sleep for 4 seconds during the boot. Any idea why? I also notice X.org seem to start earlier when parallel boot is enabled. Do you benchmark from the kernel start to the desktop is ready for use (using autologin) or the login screen is available, or just to the last init.d script is done? The sequencial boot chart seem to ignore the time it take to start X, while it is included in the parallel boot chart.
