I had a dual-boot 8.04 and xp system. I wiped out the home and everything to do a fresh install. I installed 9.10, but now it takes 5 minutes to boot up.
Can someone steer me in the right direction to diagnose this issue? which logs to look at, etc. 8.10 was well under a minute.

It's a desktop computer, no wireless, two external drives attached via usb (one cable, it's a dual external enclosure) just in case any of that might matter.

thanx!
