I have the same problem. At the beginning (after installation), login was quite fast for a while but now it is abnormally slow (maybe even more that 7 seconds).

I suspect is the Cinnamon using javascript system. The login will get slower after some use because of more settings.

Before the use of cinnamon, login was fast.

I really think Cinnamon should have remain with C language. Desktop is not the web.

I updated to mint 17.1 and the behavior changed a little.

Before when I click login it was loading 10 seconds , then the chime sounds (still black screen) , then loads 30-35 more seconds until the desktop shows up.

After update to 17.1 when I click the login btn, I'm waiting about 40-45 seconds , then the chime sounds and almost immediately the desktop shows up

I cannot say if this was the behavior before, and when started , but it's really annoying problem.

Cinnamon has *always* used C and javascript for its runtime.

You guys aren't using BTRFS by any chance are you?

I do not use btrfs. I didn't know what is this at first place.
Below are my dmesg and syslog
