Also, don't forget to add a big ASCII-art logo during the bootup - |
| 13 |
preferrably one with flames in the image, or perhaps one that says |
| 14 |
"Type-R". It definitely makes Honda Civics go faster, so why not a |
| 15 |
Gentoo bootup? |
| 16 |

Now, in all seriousness, none of the modifications (save the |
| 19 |
RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP setting) are safe: |

The changes suggested here would cause problems, because it _is_ |
| 25 |
possible for files to have changed inside the directory without the |
| 26 |
directory mtime having changed. If you want an example, try: echo "" |
| 27 |
>>existingfile into one of your modules.d/ files and watch the |
| 28 |
modules.d time not change. |

As someone already pointed out, this can easily break with mount points |
| 33 |
inside other mount points. |

Sure, set RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP if you want; I turned it on, but I can't |
| 38 |
say I saw any noticable difference - I _did_ notice some things starting |
| 39 |
in parallel, but the overall startup didn't seem any faster. But, if |
| 40 |
stickers on your Honda Civic make you feel faster... |
