Ok, so after disabling the lockscreen and no boot GUI..I managed to have only 7 seconds to show the login page... Still hunting down those 14-16 seconds of login time... Its worth mentioning there is a noticeable pause after logging in when loading the system tray icons, it goes like that: The task bar shows, then the clock, then the sound icon, then the network icon, then the nvidia icon, then it pauses for like 3-4 seconds, then start resuming dumeter icon, the dropbox icon...disabling all as well doesn't fix it...it must be something hidden in the background...
