** Description changed:

- I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with linux-image-generic 3.16.0.9.10 and as
- already mentioned in the other ticket
- (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1325819) I'm
- noticing a performance loss in booting time of a few seconds with newer
- versions of the kernel. But interestingly one linked kernel in the other
- ticket (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1325819/ ->
- 3.13.0-031300rc3-generic) doesn't have this problem. In the attachments
- are 2 dmesg logs of the different kernels. As they show the
- 3.13.0-031300rc3-generic was ~2 seconds faster with loading the nvidia
- module (last lines in dmesg) than the current kernel. I'm wondering why
- there is this difference between those kernels in booting time.
