The biggest change you can make to your laptop to get it to boot faster
is throw out the rotating disk and buy an SSD (Solid State Disk). A
120GB disk can be had for under $120. You can cut your boot time from
1+ minute to 15 sec (from the time grub loads to the time the login
screen appears). No other change you can make will be anywhere close to
that dramatic.
The one fly in the ointment is that you need to have a modern enough
laptop for the disk to be a SATA disk. Anything newer than ~2007 should
be ok (but check your disk first before ordering an SSD).
This is a pretty big change, but actually my F17 laptop boots fairly
quick even with a platter disc. If you look at Lennart's blame game
page (already linked) you can save a lot of time by not waiting on
services you don't need (not necessarily even disabling them, just not
waiting for things that aren't needed during boot).
