Long Time to See Apple Logo on Boot

Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3 The boot time on my Macbook pro has greatly increased. Specifically the time from the "bong" to seeing the Apple logo seems to be an eternity. I checked around and didn't see any other specific questions like this, although I did see some complaints about long boot times and beachballs. In my case, once I get to the desktop everything seems to behave as it did before the update.


I went through the console messages and I didn't see anything obvious, but there were a few things that seemed to stick out:


4/21/15 7:15:55.451 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.alf) The HideUntilCheckIn property is an architectural performance issue. Please transition away from it.

4/21/15 7:15:55.735 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.mbloginhelper.user) This key does not do anything: OnDemand

4/21/15 7:15:55.735 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.mbpluginhost.user) This key does not do anything: OnDemand

4/21/15 7:15:56.777 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.xpc.launchd.domain.system) Service "com.apple.ManagedClient.startup" tried to hijack endpoint "com.apple.ManagedClient.agent" from owner: com.apple.ManagedClient


4/21/15 7:15:56.816 PM mds[60]: (Server.Warning:445) No stores registered for metascope "kMDQueryScopeComputer"


{Repeated several messages again including the HideUntilCheckIn warning}


{7:15:57 seems to begin normal boot, checking graphics modes, etc}


{this is the message that has me wondering}


4/21/15 7:15:57.782 PM TabletDriver[208]: WARNING: The Gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.3 instead of 10.10.3. Use NSProcessInfo's peratingSystemVersion property to get correct system version number. Call location:


Not sure if these have any relevance to my issue or not. The console log is fairly large and I don't want to post the whole thing, in the interest of not overwhelming everyone.


Anything I should look for?


One other thing is that I can't seem to hide hidden (.) directories/folders even when I change finder using the " defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true" command. This is fairly minor though. I'm much more concerned that the boot time could be something major.


thanks.
