FreeBSD sh + Gentoo baselayout = cold boot in around 4 seconds |
| 14 |
Going to multi-user from single user after a boot is under 2 seconds |
| 15 |
(times measured from when init starts rc - the difference is probably |
| 16 |
because the all my local mounts are still mounted) |

I have this running on a 2Ghz P4 Laptop right now. Admittedly, no |
| 19 |
network scripts are started expect for the loopback interface, but all |
| 20 |
default scripts + openvpn, ssh, dnsmasq, metalog and vixie-cron are |
| 21 |
started. |

Ladies and gentlemen, this has always been about one thing - speed. |
| 24 |
Ever since I got my 300Mhz Sparc64 to play around with FreeBSD, I've |
| 25 |
realised that baselayout + bash is just too damn slow. |
| 26 |
|

I think that's worth it. |
