In my attempt to improve the start up time here are some of the things I
attempted and their success

	sudo vi /etc/init.d/rc and found the line "CONCURRENCY=none" and changed none to startpar
	sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf and add the line "vm.swappiness=10" to the end
	Open firefox at url "about:config" search for IPV6 and change value to true.

	sudo vi /etc/default/grub
		changed : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" 
		to be : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash"

These changes improved things slightly.
Finally I discovered this

	Finally made the boot up go super fast with adding a startup contab for root
		sudo crontab -u root -e
	that hunts down and kills the udevadm process that was gumming up the works
		@reboot ps -ef | awk '{ print $8, $2 }' | grep udevadm | awk '{ print "sudo kill "$2 }' | sh

Now the boot up is 30 seconds and seems to be working fine for a couple
months.

Upgrade to latest distribution 9.10 has left my computer with serious issues with booting.  Usually just freezes.  Othertimes takes over 500 seconds to boot unless udevadm is killed in the @bootup in the root crontab
