PM5 always pausing at start-up

Is that a special program you have there that tracks your boot up time, and what is the name of it? I would like to test out my laptops... 

Yes, a very special utility.  It autoruns at boot and charts everything that's happening, and how long it takes -- hence, the name -- 'bootchart'.

It's available in the default repos.  Just do a search in Synaptic...   

Here is a list of my laptop boot times.

Interesting!  Thanks, for posting those times.

I lost another half-second, with today's kernel update -- 9.32 sec now
