 how does the end user get to that point?  I think there are some who will
 point to Qi as a part of the solution, but I understand that this is a
 faith-based discussion. ;)

well, i am not 100% sure, but i think indeed it is qi -- not at least  
because it
a) does less on wakeup (might be wrong here)
b) is configurable to print considerable less messages while resuming,  
those print outs take a lot of time

additionally the recently mentioned debugfs hack _seems_to improve things.

i tested a bit yesterday with and without the debugfs hack (only 6,7  
calls) and with the debugfs hack, one ring was enough. the second ring the  
caller heard was the first one the fr made.
w/ the hack it took usually two or sometimes three (which i knew from  
before already).

I'm using QI, have to wait one ring to get the screen, press accept and than
another ring to have the other person actually hear me. The delay is very
confusing, for both parties.(Seems like they hear that someone picked up the
phone, but can't hear me in the beginning. -- have to acknowledge that).

Trying the debugfs hack today afternoon.

You need to reduce the log level. The best way is to do it in the kernel 
parameters as this will also help with the boot time, but it can be done at 
runtime as well, so you could add it to an init script. Log level 4 gets rid 
of almost everything but should still give something useful with errors, while 
0 will stop it entirely. You could pick something in between too.

For the kernel parameters you need to edit your uboot environment. Add either 
'quiet' or 'loglevel=n' where n is the desired loglevel. quiet gives loglevel 
4. See:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Bootloader_commands#Environment

The runtime method is described on the shr tweaks page:

  I did. And sent some patches to the kernel to hide inappropriate

 hmmm, now we have to define over what we are talking,.
 i mean: Linux om-gta02 2.6.29-rc3 #1 PREEMPT Tue Sep 1 23:03:59 CEST
 2009 armv4tl unknown

Yes, Sep 1 is modern enough.

 where does a normal user get g_ether compiled in, when he uses the
 standard shr-u - kernel ?

With g_ether not compiled in i see only 4 messages on boot and i'm sure
they can't slow down the boot considerably.

 i will return later with exact messages on suspend/resume. dont have
 time now.
 but maybe this is g_ether.

Nah, it doesn't print anything on suspend/resume.

 ... if nothing else then loglevel=0 will solve this, i will make it zero.

Go ahead, but i very much hope you wouldn't be able to convince anybody to
make it default.

  and speed is also bootup-speed, (althoug this wasn't the trhread)
  where i see a lot of for an non-kernel-developer sensless messages,
  wich nobody cant read without a magnifying glass.
  
 
  I can read messages on LCM without a magnifying glass, so nobody is
  obviously a little bit inaccurate here.
 

 what do you mean with LCM ?
 On moko, i cant read this. its too small for me.

LCM is LCD module (because it's not only LCD but also backlight and
touchscreen bundled together)

You != everybody

 is this exact enough for you ? but please don't say, it's unsharp :-))

I won't. 285 dpi that our displays have can't be unsharp.

  for me, who is/must/wants use this phone as daily phone totally
  senseless.
  
 
  I do use my gta02 as my only cell phone since November.
 
  And i think that if some messages have inappropriate loglevels, that
  should be fixed in kernel instead of hiding them.
 

 with that, i agree, although my knoledge of linux says me, that, with
 any loglevel  0 you will get some output at all.

Somehow i do not (except when something is going wrong, but it happens only
once, after that the messages don't take time to be outputted, because no
scrolling is involved).

So i'm waiting for something that can in fact help to find and fix the
messages in case they're really inappropriate.

first, let me say sorry for the post this moring.
i had the finger to long on the power knob.
in fact, i had loglevel 8 while i took the picture.

with loglevel 4 i get (meanwhile) the four messages you told (g_ether) and
two more messages of my own.

that's not the point although there are some messages. and if you thing
logically, you will give me right.

test it yourself.

for i made /var/log/messages permanent, there is/was writing into the
flash which seemed to slow down things.

this slows of course also the process down (also the process of getting
asleep and waking up)

normally one must think on other things, like the extensive logging of
frameworkd and ophonekit.

for me, who is/must/wants use this phone as daily phone totally senseless.

Today i did another test, because i patched qi with ghex for giving the

loglevel=0, and my result today (look at the bottom for version) was:

ONE Ring until i get shr-todays slider to see.

That is ok for me. On that there is the question:
Why is qi delivered on the repo with debuglevel 4 ?

Because it's a fair tradeoff between speed and getting some debug information 
if something goes wrong?  If booting from SD the loglevel is easily changed 
anyway. It would be just as easy for NAND if Qi could read jffs2. You can also 
change the loglevel at runtime as suggested in the shr tweak/customisation 
guides. This will be just as effective for resume, but not as fast for boot.
