Paraphrasing Knuth, premature optimization is a bad investment. Before we
start down this road, let's see some measurements showing exactly how much
time each step in the boot process takes. We can then decide where to
invest effort to improve with the limited development resources available.
Has anyone instrumented the boot process? For example, syslogging each
initscript to get a timestamp would tell us how much time was spent in each
one.
It's been oprofiled a couple of times... the majority of the time seems
spent in disk I/O. :/
