Many friends complain that their Linux startup is too slow, but there is no good way to analyze it so that it can be improved. If you're being confused by this, there's a bootchart gadget that can help you.
Bootchart can analyze the performance of the system and generate a diagram of the system startup process to provide valuable reference information for you. With the combined information, you can improve your Linux system startup process accordingly.
After installing Bootchart and restarting the system, you can find the image file it generated in/var/log/bootchart/. The following is a diagram of the startup process generated by my system, which you can refer to.
Bootchart has been included in the common Linux distributions, and you can install them directly from the system you are using. If you are interested in Bootchart source code, you can also get it from the download page of Bootchart.
