Thanks, but it didn't make any difference - but maybe because the
quickstarter thing doesn't seem to be launching. I dual boot this
machine with kubuntu 7.10 so I booted into that to see if made any
difference and the times were the same. The option for
the quickstarter is disabled on the kubuntu install so I couldn't
test it's effect on either system.
I have a hard time believing you have a cold start time of 3 seconds on
an equivalent machine.
