Slow booting/shutting down from SSD

[Rourke]

So i'm using my hackintosh laptop for 1,5 week. I installed an SSD from crucial, but booting up and shutting down takes about 20-30 seconds. Even my old PC is faster then that. I tried the trick in this topic which doesn't do anything. I have F.29 BIOS firmware installed. Shouldn't a boot from an SSD take about 7-8 seconds? How can I solve this?

I have a Crucial M4 256GB. OS X boots in about ~15 sec (Chimera to OS X Login).
Have you patched your own DSDT?

BTW, shutting down slow is just an Apple thing. Maybe Cupertino will fix it someday...

I wanted to but had no idea what to do with the txt files from your github, or how DSDT editor worked exactly. Some hours ago I looked at the Wiki and found your detailed guide. A bit hard to find to be honest. Perhaps put the link to your wiki page in the readme or in your patches topic straight away?

But I did create my own DSDT now and booting time is reduced to 14 seconds. Which is really nice. Thanks once again!

Yeah I noticed a big decrease in boot time after patching my own DSDT as well; everything seems to run much smoother. Rehabman is the shiz!

I had always wondered about the slow shutdown though, but glad to hear Rehabman confirm it's just a normal Apple thing. Now it's one less thing to worry about lol.

Wow that is really nice and preferably what I want. But hey, what is 15 secs anyway.

I have OCZ Vertex4 256GB installed in my HP ProBook 4330s (running OS X 10.8.2) and it also boots within few seconds, not as fast as macbook air mid 2011 (not seeing spinning wheel at all), but maybe only 1-2 secs slower. CPU is not even crazy fast on my probook, it's i5-2410m.

nothing magical here, installed 10.8, updated to 10.8.2 combo, used hp pb installer for ML, fixed some kexts manually as per tutorials on this forum and that's it.
