Just curious. About a second or two slower. ie not much difference at all in the grand scheme of things. But that's to be expected as most of the gain has come from moving existing bash code to C - except for the init script's themselves. Also note that when this gets released at some point, Linux will be slower as it has to load udev. FreeBSD has loaded devfs and done its magic before init, so there will always be some skew as to which is faster/better. But that's why *I* am doing it. Roy -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
