Not sure if there is a lot in it both of these seem slower than previous versions to boot but both are quite good distributions out of the two i prefer suse and have installed that on my laptop although i have not used it much.
I am not a linux geek and only play with it now and then .
Boot times depend on what hardware you have and what services you have at start up. If you don't turn off the useless stuff you don't use then naturally it will be slow. It sounds like you haven't cut out the services that are new to the latter releases that you don't use. I have only notice speed increases in latter versions of Mandrake after fine tuning.
