I too have a noticeable improvement. My boot average boot time before the upgrade to baselayout-2 was 29.46 seconds, after the upgrade (with rc_parallel) my average boot time is 21.33 seconds. That's a 28% reduction! Thanks for the info! I too have a noticeable improvement.

This is quite common actually, somewhat useful, but it's not a real solution IMO. As far as baselayout-2 and OpenRC going stable. Is there a tracker bug or similar we can follow so as to keep on top of the status ? I've tried searching bugzilla but haven't had any luck.

Which simply means to pause them and start them at a later time. Seems that could considerably decrease the time it takes from boot to a responsive logged in desktop.
