5 Second Linux Boot

[Searching_ _ _]

{QUOTE-> To break the five-second barrier, the developers first reduced kernel start-up to a single second, including all module start-ups. An "early boot," which includes init scripts and background tasks, was then allotted another second. X was given another second, and the desktop environment received a generous two seconds. The developers dispensed with initrd because it consumes a half second, and with the above modules already loaded, is not necessary in 95 percent of laptops, the developers were quoted as saying. The team also performed asynchronous initialization of some kernel subsystems, writes Marti. <-QUOTE}

This if implemented in future would make standby and hibernate redundant.
