I'm running Intrepid and I didn't have this issue anymore.
It looks like the priority of some routines have changed, for the login screen takes more time as usual (black screen, blinking cursor)
The broken network connection which occurred on a regular basis is fixed. See Bug #205374
Still I think it takes to much time for my fast machine to get ready. My two lesser machines boot way quicker!
