It could be a net win if we'd use the time while the user logs in (¹) for other things in the background (loading things that we know will be used into the cache, start non-crucial daemons, ....). It works well in Opensuse and the boot feels faster (even if it's sometimes not that much faster if you measure it with a stopwatch). CU knurd (¹) currently afaics the computer mainly is waiting for the user to type username and password (which can take 5 seconds or more -- depending on how fast you type and if you are actually around when GDM shows up), thus there are a lot of spare cycles that could be used for other things -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
