[Ubuntu-BD] [OT] How file systems affect computer performance

[Hafiz Imtiaz]

Hello

I just want to share some experiences of you guys about the startup and
shutdown time of your PC and thus decide how a file system affects these.

My PC takes almost similar startup and shutdown time for both XP and Ubuntu
8.04.1 [85-90 sec for startup; 10-12 sec for shutdown]. I read and article
on the internet that Ubuntu would start faster if the filesystem is XFS. So,
I tried that. But the boot time was as it were.

Now, I have mac os x 10.4.9 on my PC with HFS+ file system and it boots
within 30sec and shuts down within 8sec. How could this happen?

The other software start times like Firefox, VLC are the same as windows xp
and ubuntu 8.04.1. How could boot time is reduced but the program start time
remain the same?

Where is the secret?
