Bootchart is a tool for performance analysis and visualization of the Linux boot process. Resource utilization and process information are collected during the boot process and are later rendered in a PNG, SVG or EPS encoded chart.
Bootchart provides a shell script to be run by the kernel in the init phase. The script will run in background and collect process information, CPU statistics and disk usage statistics from the /proc file system. The performance data are stored in memory and are written to disk once the boot process completes.
To install Bootchart fire up your terminal and run this command
sudo apt-get install bootchart
The bootchart result is saved as an image after every boot process of your system and the image are saved in /var/log/bootchart/
Go into that folder after rebooting your PC to see how was your system's booting performance. How many seconds it took to boot?
Mine take around 30 seconds to boot.
This app will help you to keep an eye on your Ubuntu's performances every now and then.
Enjoy!
