Mike,
What all the other replies missed, up to this point, is that you are trying
to figure out why the time to login is much greater after a reboot.
THIS IS NORMAL!
After rebooting, your system has to start all services from a scratch and
re-write the swap file, among other things. The "logon screen" is displayed
long before there are enough services stared to handle your logon. So...
the system waits for all those services to start before allowing you to
logon fully, and show the desktop.
Bottom line, this takes longer on a lower performing computer and longer
when you load a lot of things at startup. However, the fact that the logon
process takes longer after a reboot is perfectly normal.
Relax :)
