Thanks a lot!
I can't resist the desire to ask another question: I assume what you were told was that upstart was about event-driven starting/stopping of services, not parallelisation. Does it still make it possible to implement this 5-seconds boot with upstart? Or does upstart get, somehow, in the way?
Thanks for the _very_ useful job you did: some of us still need to boot their machine sometimes ;-)

It's definately possible to approach the same boot speed with upstart. However, the overhead of reading all the upstart configuration files and doing all the parsing of those is still a bit higher than using plain sysvinit, hence we chose to use that.
This is not a weird choice: several netbook vendors currently do exactly the same thing for bootup.
