I have read that using a static udev, can speed up the boot process?

what are your thoughts on this?

and how do i go about this?

Are you referring to a static /dev ?

I wrote a mini-sloppy guide here on the forums. In the link I just provided, I recommend scrolling up to read some of the previous things said, remember to backup up your work, and all the usual procedure.

Edit: But really, do what I recommend with just moving the stuff from /dev into a spot like /lib/udev/devices. It'll be a lot easier than doing mknod a bunch of times. Don't forget to remove udev from /etc/rc.sysinit otherwise it will be pointless.
