The time in the init scripts is not spend actually waiting for bash to |
| 10 |
evaluate the script. It is in actually starting the applications. Some have |
| 11 |
builtin delays, and some are just big. Python would not help that at all. The |
| 12 |
only thing that would help are paralel init scripts. |
