Hi all. Since I'm on Gnome I'd like to use gdm over lightdm for better integration. However, it takes a long time to start gnome (almost as long as windows without fast boot).
I timed it. Time from grub to login:
without WM: 18 sec.
LightDM: 24 sec.
GDM: 34 sec.
By using iotop after login I noticed that when I'm on GDM there is a process called tracker-store eating all of my IO Wait. I read that for some users it also eats 100% of one core,
but this is not my case, probably because of me having a 3.2 Ghz i7.
Also, how can I track IO wait before login?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: tracker-store shows up even with LightDM.

I know this is not what you asked, but if you don't need tracker, you may disable it. Gnome settings -> Search -> Off in the topbar.
