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.
