Boot and shutdown, yes. As a first pass, I grepped for "sleep" in my init
scripts, and found a few culprits, including alsa-utils.
If alsa-utils genuinely needs to sleep here in order to work around some kind
of problem, then ideally the sleep should have a comment explaining the
problem it solves. This way, when the problem no longer exists, the sleep can
go away too.
