Starting all boot scripts as background processes can potentially lead to
some scripts starting before prerequisite ones have finished. For instance,
if your network hasn't come up yet, and you start network services.

Better solutions include Serel (www.fastboot.org) and Richard Gooch's fast
boot scripts: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/rgooch/linux/boot-scripts/

Currently, the trade off between flexibility of serel versus the
low-overhead of Richard's scripts has meant neither has been adopted over
the present standard. I've heard people suggest hybrid approaches like using
something like serel to generate something like Richard's scripts.

Anyway... back to lurking.
