[Avid-L2] OTish: Multiple Repair Permissions with no reduction in repair time?

 

I've repaired the disk permissions on my circa 2009 MBP several times in a row and each time it estimates approx 30 minutes for the repair.  In the past IIRC running disk repair once got most everything repaired and a subsequent disk repair might have a few items but would take significantly less time.  This is no longer the case.  The MBP is 10.6.8 on a HD partition of approx 268GB with approx 28GB free space.  I've googled and see some of the iTunes issues and others can be ignored but I don't ever recall this process taking 30 minutes.  Sometimes the estimate aren't exact but it does seem to be taking roughly 30 minutes each time and still ends up with a long list of repairs and some occasional warnings. 

The computer has been taking much longer than usual to boot lately which is why I thought repairing permissions might help with that.  It seems repairing permissions is a lot like the older days of rebuilding the desk top in a sense I do it without really knowing if it's helping or not.  It's the lack of a reduction in errors listed and duration of the repair that seems problematic.  Any experiences appreciated.
