    Laugh all you want but it's true. I tried this out and rebooted a bunch of times. Here's what I got.



    Boot Time

    1:47 after shutdown from my account

    1:15 after shutdown from login window

    1:15 after shutdown from login window



    linked in the file



    sudo ln -s /System/Library/Extensions/BootCache.kext/Contents/Resources/BootCacheControl /use/sbin/BootCacheControl



    1:14 after shutdown from my account

    0:45 after shutdown from login window

    0:45 "

    0:45 after shutdown from account



    sudo rm /use/sbin/BootCacheControl to get rid of the file and see if it goes back



    0:44 after shutdown from my account

    0:45 after shutdown from login window





    So IMO it works. Shaved 30 seconds from my boot time.

    fsck! My USB Overdrive is broken! Don't know if it's related.

    Hm just did it on two computers here...



    Times are from pressing the power button to login window (from shut down state)...



    Dual G4 1250 goes from 1:45 -> 0:44

    Dual G5 2000 goes from 1:35 -> 0:44



    What's up with this, 0:44 is the minimum boot time or something? Disk access limitation maybe?

    Not so. 15 beautiful seconds from pressing start button to login window. And 45 very long seconds after that to desktop.

    You may be right about that. Boot time vs login time.





    I'm not sure my USB Overdrive was working to begin with. It didn't work well on my wife's computer and not on mine it's seems the native macally driver is in contorl??? No amount of installing or uninstalling on or the other driver seems to help USBO.



    Makes me wonder if it was driving the mouse all along?

    Although there is a slight trackball driver issue on my PowerMac, the main reason it takes 45 seconds from login to desktop is that each of the 5 startup programs I have loaded gets prebound. Each and every time I start the machine. Forced prebinding and reinstallation did not solve the problem. Something in 10.3.2.
