Hi. I recently began to have a problem with extremely slow boot and sleep times on my iMac, which gave me great cause for concern.
Overall the Mac would take five minutes to boot (holding on a blue screen for around four minutes) and a couple of minutes to sleep. I recently installed the graphics update and new version of iTunes.
However, on ejecting and unplugging my USB Time Machine drive, the Mac boots up in around 20 seconds and sleeps/wakes almost instantaneously, so that's obviously where the issue lies.
I hope this is of some help to someone. If this is a problem for you, go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and let them know so they can work on a fix.
