Considering the boottime, nearly always people benchmark the time until the login screen shows up, but the enduser is not really only interested how long it takes until he could login, he wants to get as fast as possible to his running desktop and his favourite app running. Due to the last fact I’m starting pidgin directly with the GNOME session, so that it will as fast as possible available to the user. Here is my bootchart graph only with the optimizations mentioned before in this blog, since I stopped bootchart manually, you should the startup finished at the point where disk and cpu utilization are back to 0%. After substracting the time I needed to enter the harddisk-password(2,5 sec) and the user-password(2sec) you get a startup time of 89 seconds.
