Details

What fedora did recently was to improve its boot-time, from almost 2 minutes down to 40 seconds. I would like Arch Linux to do the same engineering, get rid of that terribly slow ldconfig (or find another solution to this) and make the boot time between 18 and 25 seconds. It is feasible.
This task depends upon

comment out ldconfig in /etc/rc.sysinit as workaround now until a new rc.sysinit will be released
and to improve bootup time remove hotplug from deamons list and load the modules you need in modules section.
then it's really fast in booting

I know that, that's what I do on my old laptop that's its hard drive is too slow. But for my other laptop, the 2.8 GHz, a user should not have to do this. Besides, even with all that, the services still don't start on parallel and so no matter what, it will going to still be slow-ish to boot. PCMCIA for example always takes some time, no matter what.

This feature request is a long term investement feature request, I don't need a quick hint n tip. Fedora did it, I expect Arch do something similar too because it's a great speed up thing.
