Hi, Welcome to the forum!
I would not expect any noticeable speed differences between 15.1 and 15.3, but as you are running on a labtop, I think the first to check is.
Can you report back what these two commands are returning (Using Code Tags Around Your Paste and please include the command itself)
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
Are you running the latop with the power connected?
Thank you for your reply!
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode

Okay, nothing suspected as far as I can see related to special laptop power options.
Not too easy problem as there can be a lot op possible causes. For a slow boot there are good tools to diagnose things like:
$ sudo systemd-analyze blame
You can post the output here.
Not sure that will help, but maybe it gives a clue.

Did you do a fresh install or did you go 15.1 to 15.3 - without going to 15.2?
If fresh install you may have gone from ext4 file system and now have btrfs file system, which many feel slower on non SSD hard drives.
my 2 cents
please cat /etc/fstab to show what you have.
chamileo:
Hi,
I’m not certain but since Leap 15.3 shares sources with SLE the default kernel is compiled without the “voluntary kernel preemption”. Preemption is a CPU scheduler tuning aiming at better interactivity which is noticeable during desktop use but at the expense of throughput which is noticeable during server use. To check what preemption config options are compiled in or not in your currently running kernel, run:
$ zgrep -i preempt /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is set on kernel-default so no preemption there.
One way to mitigate it is to install the kernel-preempt from official repositories. This kernel has the preemption compiled in but it is the “full-fledged” preemption for a change instead of the partial one (“CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY”) which would otherwise offer a sort of middle-ground preemption.
To fully make the behavior like it was pre-Leap-15.3 is to have the partial preemption but kernel-default nor kernel-preempt is compiled this way so we have to wait till the upgrade to kernel 5.12 where it’s possible to set partial preemption with the preempt=voluntary kernel flag: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185518.
Note that this won’t fix your startup & wakeup times since those relate more to your disk scheduler than the CPU one but it might fix your usage after the system is booted or woken up.
Hi@chamileo , any reason your wanting a 99GB swap partition? Should only need 1.5xRAM, maybe that’s why it’s slow…
NVidia + Intel usually spells Optimus and requires suse-prime. Is it installed now? Were you using Bumblebee in 15.1? Please ensure xdpyinfo is installed and provide output from
inxi -SGay
run from Konsole, Xterm or equivalent GUI terminal. If kernel-default extra is not installed, install it, as the nouveau kernel module got moved into it from kernel-default with 15.3’s switch to the SLE kernel.
Thank you for your replies!

why I have so big swap - I have had smalled HDD before and copied the disc to new one per dd. It’s not SSD, neither this nor the older one. It was not possible for me to make the root partition so big as I wanted so the last free space I gave to swap and I wanted to resize the root and swap partition afterwards from a gparted live disc (but I haven’t done it yet). Maybe it was all not good idea…
I have read all your answers but I haven’t done any action yet for sure and let only the command outputs here… please don’t think I am “lazy” to do something, I only try to be “cautious” in what I do

This won’t happen again if you successfully run inxi -U first, to upgrade to the current version from upstream. Leap’s is old, missing options and a bunch of bug fixes found in recent versions.

The boot took long because fsck had to check your home partition, that is not a good sign.
I see that is a separate ext4 partition, can you try:
$ sudo dumpe2fs -b /dev/disk/by-uuid/d2901452-ccc7-4b4e-9d5c-90850490497e
inxi -U was really the solution for inxi -SGay:

Slowness/speed of the 1TB Seagate HDD can be investigated using hdparm for speed test, as you’ve done, and smartctl, to get feedback from the HDD’s firmware on the condition of the drive. Use smartctl -x /dev/sdX to check the current data, smartctl -t long /dev/sdX , to have a current thorough read test done. What you’re most interested in are several of the lines following these lines:
SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 1
Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAGS VALUE WORST THRESH FAIL RAW_VALUE
Mainly lines containing correct*, reallocated & pending indicate whether its remaining time may be short, or over.
There’s nothing obviously wrong showing in inxi output. It shows the required kernel drivers i915 and nouveau loaded, modesetting DIX (display) driver for the Intel, and nouveau DDX (display) driver for the NVidia. Uninstalling xorg-x11-driver-video and xf86-video-nouveau could possibly improve display output, but could possibly make it worse. Without xf86-video-nouveau installed, only the modesetting DIX would be needed for display output from either GPU. Modesetting is actually the default upstream, and it’s the only driver I use on NVidia GPUs it supports. If you have suse-prime installed and configured appropriately, display performance should be a non-issue.

Your tunefs output shows no real problems, only I see “orphan nodes” reported but that is no big problem I think, so smartctl like @mrmazda suggested is a good idea.
One further question: Do you see over multiple setups that systemd-fsck is taking a lot of time? It can happen once but should not happen every boot.
ok, I have started "smartctl -t long /dev/sda" smartctl -x /dev/sda ”, there was:
$ **smartctl -x /dev/sda

IDK either, but the time it happened was when the device was a baby, which it isn’t since long ago, so should be nothing to be concerned about. Here’s one I’m writing this from, for comparison:

why I have so big swap - I have had smalled HDD before and copied the disc to new one per dd. It’s not SSD, neither this nor the older one. It was not possible for me to make the root partition so big as I wanted so the last free space I gave to swap and I wanted to resize the root and swap partition afterwards from a gparted live disc (but I haven’t done it yet). Maybe it was all not good idea…
Your outputs of ‘systemd-analyze blame’ as well as of ‘systemd-analyze critical-chain’ reveal abysmal performance. Compare the processors involved: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i7-4910MQ-vs-Intel-i3-4130/2220vs2015 Whlie your i7-4910MQ is twice as powerful than my i3-4130 the latter exhibits by far superior performance:
