- With this hack we shave twenty secs of the booting time (e.g. from GRUB until you can use your PC) but booting still feels much quicker because of the interaction with gdm in the middle (YMMV; e.g. placebo effect etc.)
I'm guessing most of this is the lag in starting up RHGB and then killing it to start a second X server. But ICBW.
Dunno; hopefully someone will do the boot time poster framework that Own proposed on fedora-devel. Until then, I'm not sure we have enough hard data to tell.
Well, it's an obvious time savings point that starting the X server once is faster than starting the X server, killing it, and starting it again. It's just a matter of how much... :)
then we need an x.org x11 able to start from a read-only filesystem :-)
