Ooh, thanks for the link! I will be trying this too - I noticed a rather long boot-up time for my laptop on 4.0 vs 3.8. I had read that section in the release announcements, but set it aside as I was rather hazy on what Virtual Box was and whether or not I would need it some day. From reading a bit more, it looks like I would not need it (I don't care about trying out other OS's), so I will make those changes soon.
UPDATE: This totally worked! You get SIGNIFICANT time savings on startup by removing Virtual Box. Awesome.
