IMHO the 2 seconds mor or less with splash enabled is not to much to bother about.<BR>
I think the real time savings can be made in read and write performance to the db.<BR>
All gains in performance is welcome but in my case I want a reduction in minutes before bothering with seconds.<BR>
<BR>
On my Ubuntu Studio 9.04 system I have now installed their kernel 2.6.31 rc2 and start time is reduced considerably. From close to one houer to mere five minutes. Flickering has reapperd but settles fast.<BR>
<BR>
How this is done I do not know, mabye new algoritm in kernel?<BR>
