Well I don’t boot often enough for even say 30s to make a difference 
(and my boot time is actually dominated by 1. UEFI and 2. Passphrase 
input). Outside of being impressive, what does a <10s boot time actually 
achieves? It likely takes you more time to adopt a good posture in front 
of your computer while it is booting up. If we were talking 10s vs 2 min 
I’d understand, but we are barely talking 20s vs 10s…
