Replacing rc(8) has a lot of risks and not many benefits. Current system if you make single-use system (for eg. X11 terminal) just delete most of files from /etc including /etc/rc and write your own - the simplest possibe, just put command to run all needed things. that's all.

As the original poster of this thread, I can also say that Doug is correct. The issue is not rc, it is the actual kernel boot process. Maybe I could see rc becoming an issue in a massive server environment where there are a lot of userland processes to start, but that delay would most likely
