If Mysteriously means the overall load time varying from day to day, that was simply a mysterious occurrence. For a while the load time was long, then it dropped for a couple of days, and now it is long again. I did no C&R in the last few days, because it didn't seem to help do anything except create huge log files.

If Mysteriously refers to the notifyd burden, then I mean, right after the "Loading User Data" prompt, the notifyd PID drops. Seemingly, something in that part of the startup is triggering notifyd.

Unfortunately, it's not working now...
