Ubuntu: Faster bootup and performance

Unlike a server one does not need a lot of services to be running in the background on a laptop. The best way to speed up the boot time and performance on a ubuntu laptop will be to use the Boot-Up Manager.

You can install it by:

sudo apt-get install bum

In my laptop I disabled the following services which I do not use and I gained at least 8 seconds of boot up time. System wake up from sleep is also faster.

Service disabled:

stop-bootlogd
rsync
pppd-dns
cron
hotkey-setup
dns-clean
jetty
cups
apmd
atd
klogd
saned
bootlogd
sysklogd
bluetooth
