Suggestion: Most people probably need cups, but not right from the start (usually you first edit a document etc.) What I do: I disabled all services that are not essential for login. Then I have a batch script that starts the rest when the load goes down, i.e. after login. So acpid, crond, cups, mysql, httpd, privoxy, wine ... get started while I'm already working. (It's a laptop, so I need to boot/shutdown several times a day; I need mysql and httpd for some of my databases). This way I saved something like 40 seconds startup time. It would be nice if there was a recognized/official way to start non-essential services after the login. It could be a simple modification of the existing links in /etc/rc5.d/, like: S85httpd starts http immediately L85httpd starts it later as a batch job. There should also information which services depend on each other, and which are needed for X.
