Booting AL and some boring errors

HI guys, I'd like to ask u if your arch linux is so fast as it's
announced.
At my home, arch linux seems to work not slowing down, but also not
so fast.
The boot takes some boring seconds "updating shared library
links" (is this necessary to do in every boot?)....
hotplug looks for a module that I don't have (how do I
fix it?),....
Also, I installed hwd and executed it, and found amazing the "how to"
that comes with the new release. My system was already working good, but I wanted to check if it would be possible any optimation. Wel, I commented some sound modules in rc.conf file....and my Kopete doesn't do a sound notification when a new message arrives. So, I uncommented that modules but the sound didn't come back....
Well people, does anyone know how to fix this boring errors?

as for hotplug, if you want things optimized and you're using the hwd how-to, then your best bet is to remove the hotplug daemon from boot up - it's not really needed.

The "updating shared library links" portion has been discussed on and off - it's up to the devs - you could always comment it out yourself.

I'd need more details about your sound configuration... you may need to enable oss emulation (try adding snd-pcm-oss to the MODULES array and see if kopete works)

HI, first of all, thanks a lot for the answer. Talking about the sound modules, these are the loaded:
snd-mixer-oss
snd-pcm-oss
snd-seq-oss
send_via82xx
snd_ac97_codec
send_mpu401_uart

And about the "updating shared library links", how do I comment this instruction? Which .conf file do I have to set up?
Thanks a lot man

In /etc/rc.sysinit comment out:

status "Updating Shared Library Links" /sbin/ldconfig

when i tried commenting out this line (saves 10 seconds on boot...) i got my kdm failing cause of nvidia failure (:o) though there was noting wrong with my driver, and once i logged in in console, killed kdm, and restarted it, all worked fine.
i couldnt figure out why this happens - i tried using both methods (kdm in rc.conf & inittab), both failed for the same reason. seams like ldconfig cachces some data which kdm or nvidia requires... just couldnt figure this out...

If you want some module to be ignored by hotplug put it in /etc/hotplug/blacklist.
