I built my first SSD based PC last week and was blown away by how fast it booted into Windows. After a few days, however, my boot times became noticeably slower, rising from around 18 seconds to 42 seconds according to Windows Diagnostics-Performance logs. On further inspection, I discovered that most of the extra delay is associated with an event called "OtherKernelInitDuration," which rose from under a second to around 23 seconds.
Any suggestions as to what may be causing this? I've tried just about every solution I could find on the net for fixing slow SSD boots (making sure the desktop has wallpaper, enabling EHCI handoff in bios, unplugging my DVD burner, running a Windows repair, turning off unused peripherals in bios, etc.) and am getting frustrated.
BTW, my Crucial Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 SSD has the latest firmware and scored a 7.9 on the Windows experience index. My OS is Windows 7 64bit.
