About a second or two slower. |
| 19 |
ie not much difference at all in the grand scheme of things. But that's |
| 20 |
to be expected as most of the gain has come from moving existing bash |
| 21 |
code to C - except for the init script's themselves. |

|
| 23 |
Also note that when this gets released at some point, Linux will be |
| 24 |
slower as it has to load udev. FreeBSD has loaded devfs and done its |
| 25 |
magic before init, so there will always be some skew as to which is |
| 26 |
faster/better. |

But that's why *I* am doing it. |
