I have 3 or 4 modules loaded via loader.conf at boot time. They take at

With my normal slim kernel with most of the modules loaded via loader.conf
(other few loaded later in runtime) I have this:

$ kldstat | wc -l
       60

I do not observe noticeable difference compared to GENERIC kernel.

Try the script I posted to -current and see how it goes for you.

Plus, users try to reboot their machines as rarely as possible, no?

A) Arguing from anecdote
B) I realize desktop is not a priority for us, but desktop users generally reboot much more frequently (usually daily for me). C) For those times that you do need to reboot a system, why add minutes to the boot without reason?

I mentioned the problem, and proposed a solution for it ... I'm asking people to test the solution I proposed.
