It's a popular misconception that boot time can be "boosted" by just
replacing SysVinit with something else. The biggest bang for the buck
actually comes from fixing readahead so it reads all the files it needs,
without making the disk seek; see [1] for some old experiments I did 2.5
years ago. The good news, however, is that the readahead maintainer is
working on this; see fedora-devel-list archives for discussion.
