The rest is syst= emd. Damn, is GNOME fat. I booted to text console (disabled GDM), and I also disabled plymouth. From GRUB2 to login prompt it takes less than 6 seconds, so the really slow part is starting GDM and then switching to GNOME 3. The BIOS is pretty fast, it takes 4 seconds from power on to the GRUB2 menu. The fast part (GRUB2->login prompt) is because of systemd. GNOME 3 needs a lot of optimization, it seems. Also, plymouth slow things a little, and it hides the login prompt, so it's difficult to measure for how much. However, it's really pretty ;) Regards. --=20 Canek Pel=C3=A1ez Vald=C3=A9s Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingenier=C3=ADa de la Computaci=C3=B3n Universidad Nacional Aut=C3=B3noma de M=C3=A9xico
