Quite often slow boots are the symptom of timeouts and DHCP/DNS
lookups from routers when that informations is superfluous.

Before digging into this with any great gusto, you could try
installing bootchart and analysing or posting links to the resulting
png files it produces - these will show you exactly where the delays
are occurring in your machine.
