Navaira Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hello, I have Yosemite 10.10.3 installed on a Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SV300S37A/120G, TRIM enabled. GA-Z97N-WIFI, i7-4770S, 16 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM. Recently -- as recently as a week ago, or so -- the boot time has become longer. What happens is that I first see the desktop and the dock + any Finder windows I left open, and no top menu bar for about 10 seconds. After that, a black bar appears where top menu bar should be, another 10 seconds. Then 7-8 seconds of "waiting" with grayed out Finder windows. Then it finally gets over itself, menu bar appears and it loads correctly. So all in all there's 30 seconds of pause, give or take. This is new. If I try to click a Finder window, I get the beach ball of doom and window grays out. What is this pause? Do others encounter the same effect and do I just have hallucinations thinking it was faster before? I haven't installed any updates or changed any Clover options. SSD permissions repaired, fsck -fy ran, everything is fine with it. Thanks in advance for any help!

Navaira Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 I found out in the logs that CoreDuet is broken, and cleaned up the files in /var/db/CoreDuet The pause still happens, but it's 15 seconds instead of 30. Edit: Oh dear, it was so simple. Startup Disk > Yosemite > Restart I thought Clover handles everything by itself but apparently this still helps. Pause gone.
