Slow boot up in Leopard

Hey guys,
I have a macbook that i upgraded to Leopard and I have found that the boot up takes about 10-20 seconds longer than it used to with Tiger. When i start up, the screen is grey (with the apple logo), then it fade to a pale blue screen (with no status bar - just blank) and it stays like for about 10-15 seconds, then it cuts to my desktop, and everything is fine. I am only wondering of this prolonged boot up is normal?
Thanks,
-Steve

i really tried everything mentioned in this thread (incl. reinstall) and nothing helped!
Perhaps there's a software that brings back the welcome-screen and avoids that blue screen??
Any ideas?

Thanks!
