How Long Does It Take For Your System To Boot?
After few days of tweaking, I have finally managed to lower the boot time of my system to ~14s from ~26s. I know 14s is still way too much, but I have few services like syncthing, TLP, lm_sensors needed to be run at startup, plus I don't have SSD. I am on traditional rotational HDD.
As you can see in the picture, it takes ~14s to reach graphical target. How long does your system take for a boot ? If you're using SSD, mention the model too.
PS : I have seen plenty of threads in reddit where the boot time is mere 2-3 seconds, with WMs and SSD. No! I am not kidding.
So, how long does it take to boot your system ?

Kaustubh KatdareMy iMac 2011 running Yosemite (updated to the latest) takes about 45 seconds. But I don't expect much from the old boy.

45s! Can I know whether you're using SSD or not ?Kaustubh KatdareMy iMac 2011 running Yosemite (updated to the latest) takes about 45 seconds. But I don't expect much from the old boy.
Tweaked mkinitcpio, fsck has been skipped and now boot time is less than 10s ๐

Kaustubh KatdareI didn't do any hardware upgrade ever since I bought it, so no SSD or faster RAM. It's loaded with all the necessary software. I'm not sure if it's the OS that add to the booting time.

I don't think RAM plays major role in boot speed, but the type and speed of Hard Disk does. I have just 4 GB DDR3 RAM, out of which 512 MB is allocated for Graphics since it is APU. I might soon purchase 8GB soDIMM DDR3 RAM and check if boot performance increases or not. Most prolly it won't as Bootchart shows massive disk-usage while booting, so it's something related to speed of Hard-drive.Kaustubh KatdareI didn't do any hardware upgrade ever since I bought it, so no SSD or faster RAM.

I have simply understood init system and boot process, and trying decrease boot speed just by allowing services that are really necessary. So, nothing gets in without my permission. -
Kaustubh KatdareI've a vague idea, that it does. If there's not enough memory, the system would resort to writing stuff on the disk. It may not contribute to the initial system loading time; but as soon as the system prepares the display, desktop et al., I think having enough RAM would definitely make the things faster. It's just a wild guess.

In my free time, I will try to limit RAM to 1GB from kernel parameters and then boot. Let's see how much it affects the boot time.Kaustubh KatdareI've a vague idea, that it does.

Kaustubh KatdareThe machine with longest loading time wins.

Ashraf HZMy Win 8 laptop boots around 12 seconds. Have a Seagate SSHD (hybrid ssd). Good balance between speed and capacity. If I were to have a new desktop, I'd have a dedicated SSD for OS then a large capacity HDD for data files.
Haha. That reminds me of my previous PCs. Switch on PC, go make a cup of hot drink and prepare some snacks, then come back to a fully loaded desktop.Harshad ItaliyaMine taking around 2mins ๐ -

Even after Windows 8 included #-Link-Snipped-#, the boot time seems slow. #-Link-Snipped-#ashMy Win 8 laptop boots around 12 seconds.
I would love to get SSD, but it's damn costly here. I am already getting ~9s of boot time, with SSD I might reach <6s. But again, paying 5K-6K INR for 3s of boot performance ain't a smart choice ๐ashIf I were to have a new desktop, I'd have a dedicated SSD for OS then a large capacity HDD for data files. -

PS : I am not using SSD. It's rotational HDD. -

Its not the booting software actually, its wise care 365, It'll just shows the booting speed and it can disable the startup apps.Abhishek RawalCan't see the image. Re-upload ?

That's all know!
