Ubuntu long boot

I remember when I did my fresh installation of ubuntu 12.10 on my new laptop Lenovo g580, the boot time was less than 14 seconds but now it has reach to 27 seconds and after splash screen I see fsck check as well. Is there any way to trace down the boot logs and speed up the boot process ?

Also I am attaching a snapshot I took of my boot screen where it does actually take time while reaching to log on screen.User generated image

I did an upgrade to 13.04 BETA and made some changes in my grub.cfg file as per below :

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="gfxpayload=true"


and thats it :D it doesn't show up plug the boot is amazingly faster, I think its due to 13.04 updates. Thanks Thomas
