LL4.2 load time (5min+ No V Box) is 16 times longer than LL3.8
I have attached a page showing errors that appear during loading.
I am another Linux Newbie, and loved LL3.8. Unfortunately, LL4.x to date is a great disappointment.
On an SSD I have to wait 16 times as long for LL4.x to load as LL3.8 as timed from GRUB to Desktop.
Virtual Box services have been removed as recommended and no longer, show in systemd-analyze blame.
I own a Toshiba Satellite A200-06V made around 2007. Vista era.
CPU=Intel Core2Duo T5250 @1.5GHz, I have upgraded from HDD to SSD and RAM from 1GB to 4GB.
Storage device load times > (NOTE: LL4.2 has V Box services removed)
HDD SSD
LL3.8 0 min. 54sec. 0 min. 18sec. (SSD takes 33% of time of HDD)
LL4.2 334sec. (5min.34sec.) 293sec. (4min.53sec.) (SSD takes 88% of time of HDD)
With LL4 the HDD/SSD activity light shows remarkably little activity – mostly none at all.
I then tried an installation of LL4.x on a Dell Vostro_1400 (2x Intel Core2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz). The results were similar to those above.

Finally I installed LL4.2 in an HP Pavilion dv6500 (dv6627ca) laptop with dreamed of results - Fabulous.
This has an AMD chipset. CPU=AMD Turion 64x2 TL-58 @ 1.9GHz, RAM=2GB
The HDD activity light was very busy. Load times from grub to desktop were:
Storage device load times > (NOTE: LL4.2 has V Box services removed)
HDD SSD
LL3.8 68 sec. 18 sec.
LL4.2 76 sec. 21sec (Not the 293 sec. 4m:53sec with the Toshiba\Intel chipset)

LL4.x runs beautifully on both computers once it has loaded but who will wait 5+ min. for the OS to load.
Last September I visited a local Linux Community group. Three Linux sages concluded that it was a Kernel problem vis-à-vis my Intel chipset and that my problem would probably be resolved with updates before very long. I have updated the Kernel from 4.15.0-24-generic #26-Ubuntu to 4.16.0 to 4.17.0 to 4.20.0 (Lite Tweaks) with no noticeable improvement in load time.
I know this problem is not unique but I have not found an answer to my problem in this Forum.
I tried this below as best as I could. Neither 1 nor 2 made any difference.

Advice on this subject would be much appreciated, as I would dearly love to be able to use LL4.x
Thanks In anticipation.
