I'm at 55 seconds from hitting reboot, to a usable clock and menu bar. MBP 7200rpm. My new Super Talent 128GB SX will be arriving tomorrow... I'll be interested if it makes any difference. I set mine to reboot nightly at 3am, so it doesn't matter to me too awful much.

The only way to fix this is to do a A&I.

You will need your install disks for this.

Clocked mine at 46.4 seconds. This is with my cloned 320GB 7200RPM drive. I did use SuperDuper though and didn't do this Archive and Install you're talking about.

I'm going to have to try that. Will having XP installed via BootCamp cause any problems?

My machine is: 2009 MacBook Pro Unibody 15" - 2.66Ghz Core 2 Duo - 4GB 1066Mhz DDR3 - 320GB 7200rpm - GeForce 9400/9600M GT

You should get it quicker by doing an A&T!

Mine came in at 39 sec. Didn't do anything. But I guess mine is only 4 days old

Performed the Archive & Install and it cut down the boot time to 38.something, before it was 46.4 seconds.

It could also be taking longer because of the extra stuff I have starting up at boot, like iStatMenus. But those aren't actually apps they show up in System Preferences so I could be wrong.
