Inconsistent boot times on new install

I recently installed Aurora on my laptop and I’ve been having inconsistent boot times. Sometimes they’re quick and take a couple seconds but other times they can take up to a minute. I haven’t been able to find a pattern to this behavior and it seems to happen regardless of if it’s updating or not. Thanks in advance.

Could you compare this log with the log when the boot if fast, and find the difference?

It looks like brew update is taking 24 seconds. Maybe that is the culprit, and brew updates on boot could be disabled.

Recent fast boot:

I’ve noticed in past boots that when I have a slow boot “systemd-udev-settle.service” appears to be the problem. I’m not sure if this is the correct reading but it also seems to be taking up some time in the “fast” boot as well. Is this something I can adjust?

It looks like the brew update is missing from the faster boot, so that could be the culprit.

So then why would systemd-udev-settle be taking 25 seconds in the slow boot? Is that related to brew?

That’s the time that it began, before boot.
That’s why they are cumulative going up the list.
So brew started at 6, systemd started at 30.

Edit: I might be reading that backwards.

It’s interesting that services are running in different orders between these two logs.
systemd-udev-settle doesn’t appear to be the culprit in this case, and the brew update is absent.

I just reinstalled aurora and it still seems to be the same, udev-settle still looks like it’s taking up the majority of the time during slow boots.
