 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-
