> We are moving to upstart and one of the reasons of the change is to improve booting time. I don't know whether this is going to be 5 seconds but at least we agree with you that the current marks need to improve.

Upstart in itself doesn't make things magically faster. It just makes the
bootup sequence more flexible than the current init scripts and allows us to
get rid of some old cruft.

The Fremantle HW is faster than current one, that will help with bootup, but
all in all, it won't be (even near I think) 5s, but I don't that's such an
issue.  Stability and use-time are much more important than the time it takes
to boot the device which one normally doesn't do that often.

As to the 5s EEE demo, it's not really a valid benchmark, EEE's *much* larger
(and heavier :)) than our device so it can better dissipate the heat generated
by its faster CPU etc.  I'll be interested to see what the speed will be when
they release a next distro version intended for real end-users.

sReadahead mentioned in the article looks interesting.
