Thank for that idea. Here are my reults with some timings:

Pre new user:
Power button to spinning mouse cursor   -   56 seconds
Spinning mouse cursor to log in screen   -   3 min 57 sec
Log in screen to fully loaded desktop   -   25 seconds

Added new user:
Log out of 1st user to spinning cursor (pre log in screen)   -   7 seconds
spinning cursor to log in screen   -   7 min 20 seconds
quit   22 sec

New boot:
Power button to spinning mouse cursor   -   54 seconds
Spinning mouse cursor to log in screen   -   3 min 59 sec


What on earth is going on between the gui starting (cream background and 
spinning cursor) and the log in screen poping up? Used to be bretty much 
instant.
