Optimizing Boot-up
I installed bootchart to monitor my boot-up process.
I had some problems with my booting time (>80sec) Before : http://i.stack.imgur.com/4tvky.png
After some tweaking with Bum,Ubuntu-tweak and Start-up Manager i reached (>30sec) After : http://i.stack.imgur.com/F4Pyf.png
Is it good ? or is there room for more ? What Boot-up time(range) is normal ? ( of course it depends, but on default setting on a mid/high-tech pc)
The only thing that stands out for me in that bootchart is the (relatively) long period from ~6sec to ~11sec into the boot where the disc throughput is very low. This suggests that ureadahead
is doing a lot of (slow) seeking rather than (fast) linear reads. Making ureadahead
reprofile your boot may help here. Deleting the .pack
files in /var/lib/ureadahead
will cause ureadahead
to reprofile next boot.
From what I'm seeing I think that you might be going as fast as you can. About the only thing I could think of doing would be to make a custom kernel specifically for your hardware, but I don't know how much of a speed boost that would give you.
