Yep, everything's on the nvme except /var. From grub to console login
prompt is about 20 seconds, but it waits quite a while for the network
service to come up, perhaps because its using a bonded interface.

Booting is quick, but I really notice the speed when booting a win10 vm in
virtualbox, which takes about 15 seconds.

The system was delivered with the RAM running at 2133, so the auto speed
detection hadnt worked. Hardcoding it to the spec speed of 3200 took the
cache reads from 11.9Gig 15.2Gig...
