My Bootchart Record: 12 Seconds to Boot, 7 Seconds to X |

I may have to write how I did this at some point. I use Archlinux x86_64, with a custom kernel from Zen. It's got most of the stuff I need built in, and all other crap is thrown out. I further have added concurrency in rc.conf using @ before all but a couple of my daemons, and am using ReiserFS, with noatime notail nodiratime. I have further speed things along by editing rc.sysinit, and removed hundreds of lines of unneeded crap as well. One trick I found was that it is actually faster to mount an NTFS partition I have via rc.local, rather than fstab. That said, I can't think of anything else to make this faster!
Really, I make it to the KDM login screen in 8 or so seconds but this is total start time.
