Kernel Speed

I am interested, what is it that makes the ArchLinux kernel boot so fast compared to other distro's or even vanilla kernels?

So there's nothing inside the kernel that does the magic? Just init stuff ...

Re: Kernel Speed

To compare, I now run completely vanilla kernel, and it boots just as fast (haven't tried with stopwatch, but hey. Don't feel any difference ). Good initscripts ftw.
