....been there...done that...bought the T-shirt. The fact is... all of that
stuff has little or no impact on boot performance. Sooner or later you'll
want to use those resources that you eliminated during bootup and end up
waiting for them to startup anyways...
If would could just eliminate the caching non-sense that gentoo insists on
doing, each and every boot up... then we'd have accomplished something.
