Ok. Those are reasonable numbers to work with. Thanks for making the effort!

I still think, however, that ditching auto-detection would be to throw the baby out with the bathwater. By focusing more attention on hot-plug style auto-detection, we can have both fast startup and reliable, effortless hardware support.

As an aside, I've always thought that Kudzu was a very appropriate name for that particular peice of software. :)
