My notebook is extremely slow at booting 7.10 too. But in my case,
disabling the splash removed the problem. Now it's back to normal
(slightly faster than XP). It's very unlikely that a splash screen can
cause such a long delay, but since removing it does remove the problem, I
don't know where else to look.
