Well. I run arch too. I am not exaggerating, but my Arch boot time is 9 seconds. I backgrounded all the daemons. In my /etc/rc.conf (The arch sys conf file) DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network @netfs @crond @httpd @alsa @mpd). It is safer not to background syslog-ng. UDev takes the maximum time (3 seconds). The rest disappear as soon as they arrive. And @ backgrounds the processes. I dont use a login manager. I log into screen as soon as I log in. Also, of all the login managers I have used, slim was the fastest. It added 3-5 seconds to the startup. Just uncomment the line in /etc/inittab. Some of this speedgain comes because Arch Keeps it Simple!
