The problem seems to have fixed itself recently. I'm 99.99% positive
it's a bug in detection of sound drivers. The Gnome startup sound would
skip for about 10 minutes during boot and that would slow the computer
to a crawl. If I compiled a kernel without sound it was fine.
Something was changed recently and the problem doesn't occur anymore.
** Changed in: Ubuntu
Status: Needs Info => Fix Released
