Yet another bootchart post

I have some questions and comments of my own, but here is the bootchart first: http://www.nd.edu/~dmcgee/bootchart3.png

Obviously I'd like to speed this up a bit. Here are things I notice but am not quite sure how to fix, I'd appreciate help. hwclock runs, is this necessary if I'm starting ntpd later on? d-bus daemon runs three seperate times, why would this happen?

Finally, I would like to be able to load the modules I need and not use the MOD_AUTOLOAD because I think that would speed things up. How do I go about determining what I need to put in my MODULES line?

Here are extracts from my current rc.conf:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
MODULES=(!usbserial !parport !ide-scsi !gameport)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network @netfs @crond @ntpd @dbus @hal @hplip @cups @alsa @boinc)

Re: Yet another bootchart post

this is a bit off topic, but I think that is one of the most brilliant things i've seen in a while.
