I have done a keyword search and cannot find that anyone else has mentioned this, so I will be the one who raises this yellow flag, in the spirit of bug report #1:
  One of the advocacy points I use when trying to sell people on using Ubuntu is the boot speed.  I can (could before this week) shut down Ubuntu, rather than "sleep" it like I do Windows, because it boots so fast -- or it used to.
  Since upgrading to 11.10 Beta 1, boot time has become very slow.  My stopwatch says 148.99 seconds to get a login prompt from the grub menu.  This compared to 36.6 seconds for the Windows Vista on the other partition. When I select a previous version of Linux, the boot time is still equally slow, so my original guess that the kernel change made the difference is probably incorrect.  I don't know where the problem is, but something has gone very sour in the boot up process for my favorite O.S.
  Perhaps this will be a goal for next release, but something should be done about it.
