Slow Macbook Booting??!!

[Edd]

Does Anyone else get the a really slow boot-up of Mac OSX after installing Beta 4?

The only change I had was installing the Beta, and now when I turn on Macbook, the thing sits in blue screen (post apple logo and spinning indicator but pre mouse cursor) for an abnormaly long time.

This disappeared when I uninstalled parallels and removed the parallels items from start-up.

I have no Parallels startup items. If I did, it would probably slow down boot, and in fact, may not work properly since starting a hypervisor before the OS is completely done booting probably hasn't been thoroughly tested and may cause conflicts. Bad idea IMHO.

Try installing Parallels without startup items.

I don't know how to install without startup items... I just click upgrade in the installation window... I'm attaching a shot of the files I deleted last time to speed things up....

Sorry that image is so big (ctrl click to see the whole thing)

but anyway deleting those files last time restored my macbook booting time!
