[Bug 1753894] [NEW] Bionic LiveCD: Boot time is very slow

[Dandromb]

Public bug reported:

I'm not sure what package to report this against.

The Ubuntu Bionic LiveCD boots VERY slowly compared to previous LiveCDs
(Trusty, Xenial, etc.)

I read this is being worked on (see: https://community.ubuntu.com/t
/desktop-newsletter-19th-jan-2018/3524 "General" section), but I wanted
to file this bug just to formally report the problem.

Boot time on my machine is over 3 minutes, feels more live 5 or 6
minutes. That's much higher than other distros I test, like Linux Mint,
or Ubuntu Mate 16.04, Xubuntu 17.10, pretty much anything other than the
main Bionic daily ISO boots a lot faster.
