It isn't so bad. After all, ContentLister is started at 25s, and it consumes the time until the end of the chart (well, both contenrLister and mb-applet-icon). If we substitute contentlister with something that needs less libraries (i.e. not based on gtk+, but raw X or just SDL...), we would have an easy 52-25=27 seconds. Assume that the replacement needs 2 seconds, and we would be in 27 seconds boot time
.
And we can easily gain a significant number of additional seconds making the init simpler (just one script, no awk, etc.).
So the future is bright
PD: this is consistent with scotty's experiment of launching a java app directly instead of contentlister; he reported that the boot time almost halved
