Result! :)

Not useful though as we don't know what the problem is/was.

leaping out as causing a huge delay. This looks about right to me.

Could you try turning off auto-login please and reboot - I'd like to
see the bootchart from that too... it'll be in the same place,
suffixes id -1, -2, -3, -4 etc one per boot that date.

You fire up modem_manager and wpa-supplicant. Are these required for you?
PostGres is in there too, along with Mediatomb... were you aware?

I'm not near a ubuntu box right now (at work) so I can't compare and
contrast with my install of Karmic but I shall do so this evening.
