Sure, but I don't think that the server argument should be use to imply
that no changes, that benefit some of our users, are allowed at all.
Ideally, you shouldn't care about boot performance improvements, as long
as they do not introduce new (critical) bugs for your usage scenario.
Whether this is possible or not in the specific case at hand is what
we're all trying to understand in this thread.
Cheers.
