I half remember hearing PV speak on this issue in a radio broadcast
where he made the comment that one person's relic is another person's
treasure...

"Slackware 13.1 feels a lot faster than 13.0 on bootup,"

Maybe it's just me, but I find the bootup sequence, for lack of a better
word, "mushy", compared to 13.0. Weird, because I ran 13.0 on an Intel
2.4 GHz P4 from an IDE drive, and I'm running 13.1 on a 3.0 GHz Quad Core
with the SMP option enabled in the kernel, and from a SATA drive. It runs
like a bat outta Hell, otherwise.

For me, I don't think the actual timing has changed noticably for me when
I boot up, but the rest of the system is much faster, especially KDE, even
with the indexer enabled.

I also always use the standard console for Lilo instead of the
framebuffers, though, as it seems to make things much more snappy on the
terminal for doing the work I need to do, and I don't need the extra
resolution since I'm mostly in X.
