[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1368430, member: 24098"] Unfortunately, Lion is kind of a pig when it comes to boot times. Assuming you've already checked Login items to make sure no apps are set to auto-start (System Preferences => Users & Groups => Your account name => Login Items tab), my next inclination would be to look at /Library/StartupItems. You may also want to check the Console logs (Applications => Utilities => Console) to see if there are any repeating errors during startup. Or, you could just get in the habit of not rebooting. OS X is based on BSD, so it's designed to run 24/7/365. There's rarely ever any need to do a real reboot. And finally, you could [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/"]upgrade your hard disk to an SSD[/URL]. My lesser-specced MBP boots in a little less than 15 seconds. [/QUOTE]
