Improve bootup speed by reprofiling bootup
Over on the Ubuntu Forums there is a thread on improving boot time by reprofiling your bootup.
One cause of slow bootup is excessive disk seeking -- as files are being read off the disk in arbitrary order, the disk heads have to jump all around looking for the files. If during your bootup, you hear the disk making a constant grinding noise loading files, you could possibly help your bootup speeds through this tip. On the other hand, if the hard disk does not appear to be working that hard, and your slow bootup is caused by intermittent "pauses" in bootup, then this tip may not be as handy for you, and you should investigate into other reasons why your bootup is slow (i.e. trying to get an IP on a slow network, etc).
