Did it for feisty, but without any real improvement, because I need most 
of the services (deactivating bluetooth doesn't brush off much time :) ) 
and I don't want to risk breaking what already easily broke by itself.

True, I've got 10 partitions, it's a 1,8Ghz P4 laptop + high res 
(1600x1200), fonts sets to 14 instead of the default and with scim 
(Chinese) and I suspect Ubuntu's implementation of fonts and Pango to be 
far from optimal. But I don't have any applets. If I install only a 
default Ubuntu English install (no other language, default font size) 
it's around 1'20.

However, I've never seen such a slow boot with other distros (talking 
about the boot with scim + 14 size fonts). And Windows XP use to boot in 
43 sec, then less than 2 for Firefox (dog slow on Ubuntu), and less than 
5 sec for OO.
