Some help on optimizing boot times and upgrade

[Artcool]

Hi,
i have my system running ok (kaly 10.5.2), but i'm having a long boot time (the boot pauses for about 40 seconds in the IOKITwait), is there anything i can do to solve this? Besides this i have a relative good Xbench (about 85.75) output , i think i could have better scores if using a video card instead of onboard video, but i can be wrong...

thanks for any help.

i made a signature with my specs, but it just wont become attached , anyway here they are :

Motherboard ABIT I-N73HD (chipset GeForce7100/nForce630i) , CPU Pentium D 3.2 , 2 Gb RAM, SATA HD , SATA DVD-RW, video onboard , Realtek LAN (PCI)
