Hi Jack,
I have tried your suggestions with no change, I have now installed Big Sur on an external SSD drive and booting time now reduced from almost 5 min. down to 37 seconds, I think it may be due to the fusion drive not having enough SSD space for Big Sur so it is split between SSD an Mechanical drive indicated by a quick first 1/3 of startup bar progress is quick and the balance of approximately 4 min for the remaining 2/3 including logon.
