Snow Leopard *slow* boot
My boot time is pretty slow in my opinion, 20-30 seconds.
I have only the required kexts in the extras folder, and no custom in the /S/L/E/ Could Time Machine be slowing it anyway, or is it because this 1TB HDD has 2 partitions? (Time Machine is on another HDD) I think Realtekr1000.kext for snow might be responsible. If i do -v (verbose) The realtekr1000.kext takes a while to load. I absolutely need it, but is there maybe a newer, faster version? When I had my nForce motherboard, leopard used to boot in 5-10 seconds on the same hard drive. (Leopard on my x58 boots same as on snow) I was thinking, are there any kexts i can delete that are unneeded. *Unneeded IMO: ATI kexts FireWire WIFI are there any ones I could remove like the above to speed up boot?

If your boot takes 20-30 seconds, there's nothing to be worried about - You should be happy with that, and i dont think there's anything you can do to fasten it. Anyway, that's great result - SL boots in 17-20 seconds on my MacBook, so as You can see - it's normal. Most people get 1-2 mins.

Yeah - the BIOS wait time as well as the Darwin timeout (depending on your setup) adds alot. From the Darwin prompt it's about 30 seconds until I hit the desktop. Nice and quick.

Ya The problem lies in your system bios, if your HDA is set to 15 to 20 secon, Instead of 0 to 5.
Why?.. well Any time i Change DVD boot from 30 or 20 It takes a long time to read and boot.. if I changed it from 0 to 5, snow boot the dvd and load Everything Within 15 to 35 secon. So I think it the same for the HDA BOOT. Anyway that my theory ...

I see a waiting for dsmos in the boot log, maybe its slowing down things somehow, I was using AppleDecrypt on Leo, so I dont know if thats normal for dsmos or it can be optimized.
