may I ask why is boot time so important? i usually open my laptop when I come home, and usually it boots while i’m doing other things so boot time is not so important (except maybe if it takes more than a few minutes). however i believe the overall functionality/responsiveness is much more important. you should concentrate more on how to improve them.

on more thing: though i’ve been using a linux desktop for more the 4 years now compiling packages from repositories and manualy dealing with dependencies are still out of the question. so i said bye bye to gentoo & crux. tweaking your system for the last bit per second is simply not worthing because more often than not time invested is greater than time gained.
