  My midrange old laptop (Intel Core2Duo, 1.4GHz, Intel SSD) boots in about thirty seconds from cold to X login with sysVinit. Again, Debian Stable, nothing odd going on. There are tools to look at what your laptop is doing during boot time. I've seen the systemd and upstart propaganda, and find it unconvincing.

    Propaganda? Jeez. sysvinit is long overdue retirement - I've worked with it for many years can't wait for it to die. It can't handle power management, it calls out to a multitude of scripts/external applications just to stop start and restart (oh, and which command options are the correct ones to support?), it can't manage processes through their lifecycle. People constantly trot out that it's not the unix way... Linux is not unix. X is going away next, are you going to fight to keep that all the way too? Also, why use external tools to analyse the bootup? $ systemd-analyze Startup finished in 785ms (kernel) + 395ms (initrd) + 2.184s (userspace) = 3.366s $ systemd-analyze plot > file.svg
