I've tried everything in this thread and boot time is improved, but not greatly. The one thing I did that made the largest difference isn't explicitly mentioned here.

If you load hotplug, try this change. Everything still works great and loading hotplug goes from 5-8 seconds to less than 1.

in /etc/init.d/
nano -w hotplug

Now make this SINGLE character addition change, the ampersand below (the bold "&" without quotes):

start() {
checkconfig || return 1

ebegin "Starting USB and PCI hotplugging"
for RC in /etc/hotplug/*.rc
do
# We do not want to check the return status, as
# some of the scripts may fail due to drivers not
# compiled as modules ...
$RC start &
done
eend 0
}

The best way I've found to get my laptop to boot faster is to custom-compile the kernel so that all the hardware is built-in and there are as few modules as possible.
