Comment 1 for bug 874723

I'd also seen the 11.10 boot/shutdown times increase considerably.
(I've picked upstart as the package - not sure which package is really at fault here but upstart has a lot to do with startup so it's as good ab et as any.)

Raja: Can you describe the hardware you are running on?
I'm on a Toshiba Equium A100 laptop where I see this. I guess we should also try bootchart to see where the time is going.
