When it comes to start up performance one of the first things I want to look at is how iRex has the MSystem's Disk On Chip setup.

This devices seems to be running in a very incredibly slow mode of operation. Minimo , xpdf and the system boot take simply ages to load into RAM off the MSystem's device.

They've already admitted on their forum to running the iLiad in USB 1.1 1.1Mbps mode instead of 11Mbps mode, to make it more "stable". I'm wondering if they've hamstrung main storage in a similar means e.g. turned down the speed to make it more stable as well.

I've never seen Linux take so long to boot from FLASH.
