I'm also interested in some speed improvements. My ubuntu laptop needs
approximately 5 mins to boot. It is a Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz with 2GB ram,
so it is very similar to your system. Even my much older desktop system
(P4 3.2GHz) boots much faster. The first part of the boot sequence
(where the splash screen with the progress bar is shown) is reasonable
fast, but once X comes up, I have to wait several minutes before my
gnome desktop appears. During that time, I only see a light brown
background color.
