Specifically on this topic, I've noticed that the latest Ubuntu (which I setup on an old laptop for someone else) boots up REALLY fast, faster than Arch on this newer, more capable machine.
I've not really put much effort into streamlining boot, but just to mention that whatever they've done with Upstart, it does bring boot times down.
Probably just because the daemons aren't started at boottime but sometime at runtime when upstart or systemd thinks they are needed?
I'll test the latest Ubuntu in the next few days.

I've always dismissed it as simply that, but I recall just commenting out all my daemons for one boot in Arch, and it didn't really help much. The MAIN problem seems to be that I'm using gnome =). As I said, never bothered much to check it out. The latest Ubuntu does leave a good impression on the start though (boot time and initial viewing, the themes are good). That said - I remember the mountains of ppas and self-compiled software I used to have. No thanks =)
