Applause!
Lest we forget, the BIOS and POST are outside of our control, and can
already take most of the boot time, especially if there is a RAID
controller and/or SCSI's. Then there is slow network or time-source
response time.
Anything shaved by a few seconds elsewhere is just not going to change
those.
Anyway 'production' *BSD servers are rebooted what - once a calendar
