There could be errors in starting this services (on its own) boot, which can be viewed by pressing the ESC button during the boot splash screen. Another possibility is the root partition running out of space. Yes, just like other OS, Ubuntu (or in larger term GNU/Linux) also slow down when it is low on space.
This is clearly a bug. With that system you should not have a boot longer than ~10 seconds. Show activity on this post. It may show something lagging or stalling before it backgrounds the process while booting. The log has time date stamp with seconds.
You could start by disabling some services at startup like Bluetooth and Remote Desktop and Gnome Login Sound. Go to System > Administration > Startup Applications to de-select the items for running at startup and see if you notice any change in boot up time. Show activity on this post.
At some point during the upgrade, the initramfs config was modified, adding a line pointing to a nonexistent swap partition. The slow boot was because it was looking for this partition and then timing out after 30 seconds. Noresume fixed it, nothing strange in initramfs.
Easiest would be to open the terminal and then write “dmesg” to look for gaps as Peck proposed. The output would be less verbose than the messages one. You will see the time stamps within ” []” brackets. This is clearly a bug. With that system you should not have a boot longer than ~10 seconds. Show activity on this post.

How long does it take Ubuntu to install?
I installed Ubuntu 3 times yesterday and once today. It took more than 45 minutes to install each time. It is Eoan daily of 23/09.. This daily hadn’t changed since 23/09 and still is 23/09.

What should I do if Ubuntu does not update?
Booting fresh from an ISO on DVD should be fairly quick according to internet connection and then if all the updates do not install, it should do the rest of the booting and you can fetch the updates afterwards. Ubuntu is quite a heavy OS and so just give it time. If it does not boot easily then try rebooting.
