Slow startup (11.91)

[Clemens Eisserer]

Hi,

I've been on rawhide for quite some time now, and although I
defragment my ext4 filesystem regulary, startup is quite slow.
Until KDE has fully started up, it takes almost 2 minutes on my Core2Duo laptop.
I've a second partitition where I've installed Kubuntu-8.10 alpha 5
and it boots in a fraction of that time. (maybe 30s, but I guess even less)

These are the tasks, that take a lot of time during start:
10s kernel (+intel kms)
5s udev
7-10s checking kmods
hal: 5s
Xorg + kdm: ~15s
KDE: 20s

I wonder where the large difference between Fedora and Kubuntu comes from?
Any ideas how I can improve boot time?
