Evening all

I am trying to get bootchart to work (it provides a graphical view of the boot process in an attempt to help resolve slow boot up).

I have been following this page: https://www.linux.org/docs/man1/systemd-bootchart.htm

If I open the command line and type sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart -r the application will run and produce an .svg file in /run/log

But my understanding is that it should produce a file upon bootup, but it does not. Here my  bootchart.conf file

[Bootchart]
Samples=500
Frequency=25
#Relative=no
#Filter=yes
Output=<botchart, defaults to /run/log>
Init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart
#PlotMemoryUsage=no
#PlotEntropyGraph=no
#ScaleX=100
#ScaleY=20
#ControlGroup=no
#PerCPU=no

So I have three questions,

Why is it not running on bootup?

I want to add the -r option, it make the file smaller, I do I just append it the the end of the  init line in the conf file?

And it is normal for any files produced, put into /run/log disappear after a reboot?

Ultimately I am trying to find what is slowing up my bootup time which is slower on the current version of Mint XFCE than the previous version by about 2.5 sec. I am aware of systemd-Analyze and other systemd commands but if anybody has any good web page on the subject or application to help resolve the bootup time issues please pass the details.
