My system used to boot pretty fast when I first installed ubuntu almost one year ago, but now takes a lot more.

I used dmesg to see if I could find anything and there seems to be a 35 second gap between entries, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do to fix that.

Part of my dmesg output is here:

[    1.940788] Registered led device: mmc0::

And I also have posted the complete file here

How can I make my boot sequence faster?

---------- EDIT ------

I also have installed bootchart

The image output is here:

And the log files that come with it are here:

Please note that my machine dual boots (it always has, even when it did boot quickly) and that I have installed Ubuntu using the windows ubuntu installer.

dmesg is irrelevant. You will want to use the bootchart package to see what is running and for how long during boot. – psusi Dec 28 '12 at 0:36
Install bootchart to identify the bottleneck. Why are you using a loop device - the ext3 filesystem? – Terry Wang Dec 28 '12 at 0:39
@TerryWang & psusi : I have edited the question. I am not good with this kind of stuff, I thougt dmesg was more relevant.. – AnPel Dec 28 '12 at 0:46
