The Linux kernel itself can already boot quite fast but with a simple one-line patch another ~0.035 seconds will be able to be shaved off the boot time.

At this point, boot optimizations are starting to look like innovations in F1... changes here and there to get 0.001s lap time improvements.

I mean consider the energy savings globally over a year. Would be interesting to see how much time is saved totally by this patch.

Probably enough to turn on an incandescent light bulb

For your average desktop or server installation, this isn't big news. Where it matters a lot will be in embedded systems.

I feel like a German reading this. Much efficiency, very improvement

I thought this was in Linux memes when i first saw it

Nice! That will help make up for the 15-20 second ram training my motherboard does every boot up because enabling training memory makes the whole system unstable…

Do you still use Intel MMX?

This would have been meaningful for the 15 reboots, oh wait wrong OS.

It usually takes 0.035 seconds more.

netbook craze

I miss net books! I have one but it's got a 32 bit cpu and I had (relative) difficulty getting it working.
