Cool. Here are some numbers from my system, timing from hitting enter
on the grub screen, to when rhgb is first displayed, to when you can
start typing on the login screen, and finally to when the gnome splash
screen disappears and the desktop is ready to use. This was on a
hyperthreading P4 2.4 GHz with the SMP kernel:
rhgb early-login
rhgb displayed 00:20 n/a
login screen 01:08 00:33
desktop ready 01:30 01:13
you saved a few seconds of my day.
a user should wait nearly 1 minute for the ready desktop?
and this is a step forward?
i prefer to wait 90 sec for login screen and 20 sec for desktop on my
systems.
apropos, on the same hardware, 666/1333 mhz, powerbook g4
Mac OS X
00 sec - boot
30 sec - login screen
20 sec - desktop ready
______
50 sec - vs 24 hours
