It's several times faster then the "normal" init. The problem at the time was there were no scripts for everything I wanted to start automatically. So one day I figured out that writing scripts and using faster init takes me more time then using slower init which works with almost no maintenance. This made me go back to the normal init. I have to say that while using initng I noticed that many scripts were added for a relatively short time. It is possible that now there are initng scripts for most of the services one would ever use, but you have to check it out for yourself.
I can't say a word about "runit", because it's the first time I read about it. My next experiment for speeding the boot up will be fcache, but I'm waiting for a proper mood to try it ( it means: "I'm too lazy" ) -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
