Fix slow boot-up on Mac

Problem
Recently I ran into a frustrating issue on my new MacBook Pro Retina (with 512MB SSD). The time of (re)boot took a lot of time, holding the screen black for a long time.
I checked several tips, but it was not due to old hardware (...), also not that my disk was full (more than 50% free space).
I searched a lot and found a solution that works actually pretty well and seems really stupid to me (a kind of Microsoft-type-solution-when-something-unexpectedly-stop-working-well).

Solution
What you need to do is to go to System Preferences, and selecting Startup Disk. Then, select your primary disk, and hit ‘Restart’ from the same window.


That's all! It worked for me pretty well!
By the way, it seems that this happened after the update of OS X 10.10.3.

My Mac was also very slow in the boot up and took much time to set all things up. Tried the quick fixes that you mentioned and now it boots up in quarter of that time.

The initial worry of applying for an Urgent passport was genuine. I had to rush to acquire my passport for an unexpected international vacation. I was impressed by how quickly and efficiently the passport office handled my urgent request. They walked me through the accelerated application procedure and delivered my passport on time. I'm glad there are measures for such circumstances; it saved me. Thanks to the passport office for their prompt and excellent service!
