Try disabling service that you think you'll never use. Also don't start
network (and yum-updatesd also) at startup and delay it by putting
'service network start &' in /etc/rc.local. Because you can't use network
unless you login.
My Fedora 8 takes 50seconds from Grub to login screen (I mean time from
pressing enter in grub screen to the time when login screen appears and i
can login) on AMD64 3000+ (solo core) and 1GB RAM :)
