After log-in start up (lightdm vs slim)

Hi folks,

I have a dilemma, I recently installed on a VM with very few resources "Devuan Boewulf + slim + runit" and it is really much faster than a real laptop (not truly powerful) with "Debian Testing + lightdm + systemd". The latter after the log-in takes more than a minute to load fully the DE, while the former takes a couple of seconds, the feelings is the culprit must be the login manager, I got the same bad performance even when the init system was "Debian testing + lightdm + sysvinit".

Are you aware that lightdm could be a bottleneck for Xfce4 to load itself faster?

Please share your opinions or experience!

I've seen reports where if the dbus environment is set up properly, there are login delays. Have a look at your lightdm log files to see if it indicates where the delay is.
