#5137: [PATCH] Compressed Kernel and Modules. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: Grey | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: System/Boot Loader | Version: R1/alpha1 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: compressed kernel CELF Blockedby: | Platform: All Blocking: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by Grey): Replying to [comment:8 bonefish]:[[BR]] > ... Quite a bit of Haiku's boot time can be attributed to driver/hardware recognition and initialization. The USB stuff alone takes several seconds on my machine. ...[[BR]] Is there are any profiling software for Haiku? How about adding time information to syslog?[[BR]] > Anyway, I guess the main points for boot time optimization are (1) more intelligent I/O (e.g. precaching) and (2) choosing drivers for hardware more directly (e.g. by PCI device ID) instead of trying all of them. Furthermore it would be great, if it was possible to recognize earlier whether the boot volume requires USB and postpone USB initialization if not.[[BR]] There is one more way for boot time optimization: http://dev.haiku- os.org/ticket/5163 :) -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5137#comment:9> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
