[X4U] Weird hard drive Copy Issue

[Richard Gilmore]

The issue is with fonts at login. The more fonts you have the longer the
login. Part of my job is graphic/web design so I've got a LOT of fonts. You
have to. A lot of Mac users are designers so I imagine there are a LOT of
ticked off users. The excessive login times are intolerable often 5 minutes.
Apple needs to fix this problem. If I have to reinstall the system for some
reason I will stop at 10.3.5 What I do now is set the auto start/ shutdown
times in the energy saver panel and have the machine boot up automatically
half an hour before I start work. I work at a university and we have several
Macs for student use, they also must have a large number of fonts, and the
students think the long login times are a joke right away they get the
impression Macs are inferior and slow.
