Slow startup OS 11.1 - Gnome

Is it me or my settings or is OS 11.1 dreadfully slow. It takes from
Grub to a complete desktop in Gnome 1.25 minutes. (Measerment started,
right after Grub ended and until all icons are displayed on the
desktop.)

I’ve been searching around and can’t seem to get any tips or tricks to
increase the boot speed. Does anybody have any suggestion on what I
might try?

Hi
I remove the preload info in /etc/preload.d except firefox. Disable
unused services, disable ipv6 and remove beagle.

I’ve removed Beagle, turned off several services (app armor, blue-tooth,
virtual terminals), but I don’t see much improvement. It even takes a
bit longer to get fully loaded. Though the increase in loading time is
now in the GUI. From Grub to Gnome is about the same boot time.

with KDE. Which would explain that it only contained stuff for KDE in
that directory. I removed all of those but not FF (though I don’t use
FF) and not openoffice. Although everybody claims that Ext3 will not
defrag, I have serious doubts about that.
