I'm not sure I would call two and a half minutes on first boot all
that fast.
(That's on the sparc box I installed today, which has been slimmed
down
a bit - one of my key minimization priorities now is not to reduce
the amount
of software delivered but the number of manifests, as that's a
limiting factor.
An opteron box is quicker, as you would expect, but you're still
looking at a
minute which is appreciable. And there's several seconds every boot
as well.)

Is first boot really the use case you think we should be optimizing
for? I'd like to think that for both users and machines, it's a
comparatively rare event.
I believe it is worth optimising for because it impacts the initial
user experience -- it is one of the first encounters a user has with
the system.
With that said, I certainly agree it is of less importance than day-to-
day performance.
