Yes, on the pi3 it takes about 2-3s, but on a regular x86 machine it should take <2s. I've been arguing against MS Windows' misdesign to reboot the system on configuration changes. But from a stali perspective I kind of prefer rebooting the system for the prize of avoiding a daemon or runlevel management. It's simpler and it also makes you "configuring" a system less. "Configuring" is always an indicator of suckiness. Cheers, Anselm
