Liudvikas BukysThat forum thread revealed what the true cause was of this disk trashing and delay at startup. I have to warn you though. If you're a developer, your software engineering fire will die a little when you read the true cause and from then on you will have to fight off thoughts of giving up development altogether and apply for a job in marketing or HR. So what was it, what's the cause of this slowness? It's NSS. What? The Network Security System. It turns out that NSS needs to do all kinds of encryption and other security related tasks (which seems kind of logical), and for that it needs random numbers. Sounds reasonable, right? Well, it kind of does.
