Do you have numbers for this difference? Can you measure boot time with sh =
dash, and then rename dash and link dash to bash and measure again? I'd be

Unfortunately my box tends to be providing too many services to allow

My guess is there was a huge amount of heat light and steam generated
by that decision, and a trawl through Google will probably turn up the
benchmarks that decided them on that course of action.
