18 Im well aware of Lennart talking about it but the relevant matter is
19 whether it was ever brought up in the conversation or not. If youre saying
20 its on me to prove a claim you better be fucking sure i made or care about
21 the claim in the first place. And on this list its consistently the
22 anti-fanboys that make the claim, because even Lennart himself doesnt
23 emphasize the speed as much as is imagined - he often mentions it as a mere
24 side effect of a "clean" bootup. Id link you the posts that say so if i
25 werent on a moving train.
