Okay, here are my results. I tried to duplicate nordi's situation -- autologin and get the uptime after KDE starts. I also ran an external stopwatch from GRUB to KDE start (when the uptime window appeared). Obviously the stopwatch is prone to human error. I had a single swap and root partition, both on the same drive. Reiser: uptime: 68.28 (68.78,68.39,70.37,65.59) stopwatch: 77.11 (74.718,79.850,77.261,76.606) Ext3: uptime: 62.905 (64.65,63.36,60.16,63.45) stopwatch: 62.86 (63,61.883,62.820,63.766) Conclusion: If basing the count on uptime, ext3 is 7.8% faster. If basing it on total boot time, it is 18.4% faster. When does the uptime count start? I would have thought it would be before mounting the filesystems. It seems that it must be after, and it takes longer to mount Reiser leading to a larger gap between uptime in stopwatch time. Given that they are not mounted/unmounted frequently during use of the computer this discrepancy is probably negligible.
