Thanks, If you want REALY fast boot times you need to get some degree of parallellism into the boot process. Many things can start in parallel, but don't because it's easier to write sequential bootscripts. Most daemons can be started 'all at once', and these are just the sort of applications that need to initialise lots of stuff, check what hardware there is, and what's running etc,etc,. All of which slows the boot. The way I deal with it is to dump SysVinit completely and build my LFS with runit. My hint on doing this is online here, but it needs rewriting with the latest versions, so take care.
