THANK YOU OP. I have spent hours and hours (and money on new drives) trying to work this one out. The Xperf file has led me to a slow BIOS startup (BIOSINIT). When resuming from sleep it was taking 30 seconds, 29 of which were BIOS init. I guessed this as drives were seeking and the Windows Performance Toolkit had "No Trace" at this time. The solution seems totally ridiculous but BIOS init is now down to 950ms: I changed which SATA port I had each drive connected to on the motherboard. I had my boot drives (I have 2 OSs) randomly assigned, both to SATA slave ports. I changed them both to primary ports and disabled "boot from cd" etc in the BIOS and EUREKA. System is a s775 with an intel G41 chipset, a few with the same chipset with similar problems. Good luck!
