Has anyone actually measured the system calls made by init itself and
the shells parsing the scripts vs. the things the code it starts does? I
wouldn't expect a real-time difference from any change to init other
than figuring out what you can run in parallel so delays in (say)
sendmail or samba's DNS lookups don't slow down the first login screen.
