did the update 10.3.5 and since around that day, the boot up time has increased considerably! Anything we can do about this, without uninstalling the update?
Mine was not a slow boot up but the dock / finder stopped working. I had to put in the Panther disk so I could repair permissions. After that everything was good and back to normal.

to be more specific, it's slow at two parts.
The first bootscreen (grey) and then the OS load screen.
1. Is a start up disk selected. This could cause the slow start up in the grey screen.
2. If the slow start up in the blue screen is during the network initialization you might not have a valid DNS.

I am on an airport network and you do not have to have the DNS for it.

booted with shift-s and did a checkdisk... and had to use the /f to force it, as the volume was journaled
The message i got back in the end said that it couldn't repair the volume.... i guess the harddisk is going?

Even people keep saying "journaled hd" doesn't bother the overall performance, indeed it does. My< experience.
Try switching off "journaling hd". Therefor use the diskrepair util, which comes with Mac OS X.
Perhaps this is a non issue with G5 system, but G4 Systems feel the difference, especially with networking.
