Because the second scenario is never going to happen, right? The second scenario is a fixed-time scenario (1+ second) but is wrong in a couple of levels. I think we can assume that some services need to be shut down in a certain sequence if they're to be properly shut down at all. But even if we disregarded that and let the services shut down as best they can, killing all processes at the same time could result in the system thrashing at bottlenecks like harddisk access. What would the point be of comparing the two speeds, then if the "best case scenario" isn't actually useful? There are certain baseline needs that have to be satisfied before any time comparison are to be made, IMO. -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
