I had installed Open SUSE 12.3 KDE 64-bit on my laptop about a week a ago. Everything was fine with my installation until i fully updated it.I am currently updated to KDE 4.10.5 after update.
The Shut Down period has increased to 30 seconds which is measured by me after i click on Shut Down dialog which was around 10 seconds earlier. I don’t have any other performance issues with the OS, everything is running very well which is the reason why i dumped others. My CPU is idle at 0.5% when i don’t have any applications open, no issue with daemons running. Hibernation is also very slow . I feel a little delay in start up as well.
This annoys me a lot while other distros that i have used shuts down within 10 seconds. I can’t figure out what is wrong with my system.
Please help me to find out the issue and fix it ASAP. Ask me if some more information is needed.
Sorry for late replying. When i press Esc while shutdown, at the bottom i see a delay of about 10 seconds at the point “Sending SIGTERM to all processes”.

Well, that part is normal.

When I read your post,
I find it amusing that when my system shuts down within 10 seconds or so, it makes me completely un-nerved because I <know> that running services are being forced off perhaps losing data. Sometimes I can see in the stdout services being forced to quit.
SIGTERM in fact is a particularly violent command to terminate processes… It is fine if nothing needs to be preserved, un-nerving if important stuff is still running.
If you want to investigate what might actually still be running and need to be terminated during shutdown, I might suggest taking a look at what is listed in the following tools <before> and not during a shutdown.
top - List processes.
KDE System Activity (if you’re running KDE) - Type the keyboard shortcut CTL-ESC to invoke.
With each of the above you can also play around with manually terminating (if not configuring to not start in the first place or uninstall) before shutting down. Typically with both tools, more active processes and apps are listed at the top but there can also be suspended apps further down.

No.
Look, at shutdown the system tries to close all services. When that is
done, there is a point it sends a polite “kill” to anything that
remains, and waits sometime, politely. If some remains, then it sends a
rude “kill 9” to all, but also waits sometime. Then it powers off.
Those wait period are absolutely necessary. The only way to avoid them
is not to have any recalcitrant process at that “critical” moment.
