I did PRAM reset, SMC reset (took the battery out, required finding a Y1 screwdriver, major PIA. Stupid unibody design without a removable battery!), verified and repaired disk permissions.

On a reboot, I get a desktop after 3min50sec. Clicking on Google Chrome, I get a usable browser 2 minutes later. Desktop seems to be much better, but 4 minute boot times? Really?

This machine is probably 5ish years old at this point, I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Thats a pretty solid run in the world of computers. Still, disappointing that this all happened suddenly with that last update. Something about it threw a wrench in the gears.
