laptop hits load averages: 407.41 128.53 49.18 during start up

I’m not complaining. It’s just very amazing how much work a laptop does to start up.

As soon as I can get a terminal session I start:

Upon boot, it started:

  1. Safari
  2. Termina
  3. Keeper Password Manager
  4. Activity Monitor
  5. Cisco Webex Meetings
  6. TextEdit
  7. Messages
  8. Finder
  9. Textual 7
  10. Twitterific

I’m pretty happy that it struggles through all that for me.

Right now, we’re at:
