You have done a marvelous bit of research to achieve what you did, and I commend you for it. But… I am not concerned about the boot time, unless it is for my palm pilot.

Again, I appreciate the effort that you, the author took, to achieve this improvement, but so what, is my comment. Does Linux run faster once loaded?. Did you find a code rearrangement that makes lunix run faster? Did you recompile for a specific processor?

Personnally, give me something that makes linux perform better. Tell me which file system to use, where, and why. Tell me if I can dynamically move from file system to file system if that will improve program or data load or write times. Tell me that by re-arranging the linux modules linked together, that I can reduce linux’s system paging. That is what is of interest to me.

I am a newbie and am impressed with my one experience with linux (fedora core4). I cannot compare distributions, and am too new to know if I can dual boot from one distribution to another. So I am asking about tuning exercises.
