True, but upstart _should_ be about speed. Not exclusively of course, but seeing how most Linux kernels are running on ARM and other tiny embedded hardware, and even Ubuntu, the main user of upstart, is quickly moving towards netbooks and smartphones, it should be completely obvious that boot speed _is_ one of the critical aspects of initialization that needs to be handled.
