Linux Lite 3.0....painfully slow startup

[litelovelinux]

I'll say right off that my 2.8..upgraded from 2.6....from 2.4...was running fine. I thought, what the heck, i'll wipe the SSD and try the brand new shiny 3.0. Big mistake...the install worked but the startup on this version is 30 seconds. My 2.4/2.6/2.8 version was 5 to 6 seconds.

getting to the desktop and functionality seems the same but man is it slow to get there...can someone shed some light on why its so slow? Are there any tweaks that can get this thing up and moving like before?

thanks
