Hakimio, you might just be starting up way too many things at startup for this hack to work for you.... it seems to be loading Firefox, Switfox, Skype, etc etc etc.

Hello, all my posts come without warranty
The thing is, I don't start anything except gnome :/ Can it be related to preloader? BTW, does it go to the background instantly after issueing sudo readahead-watch -o ~/.readahead/gnome.root / for you? For me it waits few minutes while my hdd is working and only then goes to the background...
Offtopic, but... I guess you are experiencing this bug.
Yes I allready found that on these forums But I can't remember why I put vga=791 inside that (it was to fix something )
But I did all above and it is not much: 42 seconds
The gnome.root has the following:
Should that be more?/lib/ld-2.6.1.so
/lib/libncurses.so.5.6
/lib/libpam.so.0.81.6
/lib/security/pam_unix.so
/lib/terminfo/l/linux
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc-2.6.1.so
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl-2.6.1.so
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnsl-2.6.1.so
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnss_compat-2.6.1.so
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnss_files-2.6.1.so
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnss_nis-2.6.1.so
/etc/group
/etc/ld.so.cache
/etc/shadow
/etc/locale.alias
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/sudoers
/etc/pam.d/common-auth
/etc/pam.d/sudo
/etc/localtime
/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache
/bin/more
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_ADDRESS
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_COLLATE
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_CTYPE
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MEASUREMENT
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MONETARY
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_NAME
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_NUMERIC
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_PAPER
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_TELEPHONE
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_TIME
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
Cuz these are all very small fries
I think I did it wrong. I killed it before logging in.

Anyway, readahead trick didn't really help, but removing preload (stupid thing - not gonna use it ever again) reduced my login time by 5 seconds, it now takes ~5 seconds and I don't see any side effects of not having preload.
