Turns out that Tunnelblick was causing my slow shutdown.<BR/><BR/>Closing it before shutting down results in a normal quick shutdown time.Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688681665564704694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120318454730322116.post-72108378506328867822008-03-19T15:09:00.000+01:002008-03-19T15:09:00.000+01:00Me too - Im not sure its the ram though because wh...Me too - Im not sure its the ram though because when I installed a HDD with a fresh Leopard install on it, the machine shutdown lightning fast, even with the 4gb of RAM.<BR/><BR/>It is possible though that its generating a sleep image and obviously it would be logical to expect that a sleep image from 2gb would be faster to create than from 4gb, hence the slowdown.<BR/><BR/>That doesnt explain totally though why it would shutdown so fast on a clean install with 4gb of ram, so it must also be influenced by something I have installed/done.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, you might want to check out the smartsleep software I mention in a post above this one. This prevents the machine from hibernating unless the battery is low, so it essentially doesnt create the sleep image unless it has to.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment!Andrew Proudlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219067562328167653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120318454730322116.post-11069694550697713612008-03-18T14:43:00.000+01:002008-03-18T14:43:00.000+01:00I just picked up the new 2.5 MBP (penryn) and am h...I just picked up the new 2.5 MBP (penryn) and am having the slow shutdown too.<BR/><BR/>With the stock 2GB of ram, the machine shut down quick and seemed more speedy.<BR/><BR/>After adding 4GB of ram, shutdown takes about a minute or so and in general, the MBP seems slower. Go figure. BTW the ram test out fine, so I am stumped.Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688681665564704694noreply@blogger.com
