Has anyone else noticed that logging in takes longer under panther than it did under jaguar?
I'm not overly concerned about this, since I don't have to log out as often anymore with fast user switching, but I wanted to see whether I was the only one who noticed (the only other user of this machine also noticed it).

no suitcase.

I did do an upgrade as opposed to clean install though.
Maybe that has something to do with it.

I noticed that too, and I don't have any funny font business going on.

I think it might have something to do with more services being started on login instead of during startup.

That's what it seems like here. Boot-up to the login window is scary-fast on my dual gig, like 25 seconds from pushing the button, then it's a tad slower to log in as a user, but then again us girls are using Suitcase. (I've got Terminal, DragThing, Escapepod, Default Folder X and Suitcase all set as login items on my main user) I'd say it's probably 30 seconds or so after hitting the button on the login pane until I have a usable machine.

Initially right after installing, my Panther login was much slower than Jag.... but over time, oddly enough, it has gotten noticeably faster. Could this be the result of auto defragmenting and hot sectoring over time?

bizar...
On both my machines (Ti 800 clean install, Al 1.25 upgrade) login time is very fast, almost instant. WAY faster then Jaguar.
