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?
