My anecdotal evidence is up the same alley, FWIW - I have a system with a rather fast SSD in it and it completes the entire boot process, on F13, in 13 seconds or so. Which rather indicates that scripts aren't wasting a significant amount of time, and a lot of the time lost on more conventional systems is waiting for disk access. Has anyone run bootchart on Fedora lately? I remember we did something of a co-ordinated effort on it in F11, but I don't think it's happened on F12 or F13. That would give us an indication of where our startup bottlenecks *actually* are. Maybe I'll throw up a blog post on that later today, I have three rather different F13 systems to do it on now. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
