I had a similar problem on my Macbook Pro 2014 after downloading Yosemite. It took more than 1 min to boot up. I went to Apple support center in Kl and they told me yor macbook is not in garantty anymore and it takes about 2-4 weeks to check your macbook and we will charge you. However, I followed first comment of this topic but it didn't work. But I got idea and presses commoand+option+P+R (all key one time) after that my system meseeage me to reinstall the Yosemite, I click in it and after arround 6 houres the software was downloaded and updated and furtunatly my problem was solved. hope this way can solve your problem also.

Best solution for now is clean reinstall Yosemite. I had Mavericks and it boot up for 20 sec. (iMac 21" mid2011). After upgrading to Yosemite through AppStore my mac boot for 1.5 min. I made clean reinstall of Yosemite (with formatting) and ... voila... 30-35 sec. Also overall system speed increased too/ So don't hesitate, just do it. And don't forget to backup all your persolan files as well as you formatting.
