Slower shutdown time than previously

I'm concerned that for something in the system is causing slower shut down times on my MacBook Pro 15" Unibody than before. My MacBook Pro used to shut down in 7 seconds, but now it takes more than 15 seconds. I tried unmounting the BOOTCAMP partition and still was slower. So I was wondering if there's something I can do to decrease the shut down time.

I also compared it to my brother's early 2008 Macbook and his shuts down in only a few seconds, which I find weird because it's older.

1	Try running a disk permissions on disk utility, that usually helps. Also try a program called Onyx. Apple.com answered Jun 09 '10 at 15:34 rocky05 4.8k●26●43●85
