Hey-hey, hope all are going well through these last winter days in the North and through the heat of the summer in South:)
Here is something from our Kernel Guru, NicCo:
“After the implementation of the new disk I/O BFQv7r2, and all the other small fixes and tuneups around 3.12.x, we’ve noticed that with the latest kernel 3.12.12 we can obtain a much faster boot time compared with the one possible with the previous kernels 3.12.8/9, tested with modern hardware this can oscillate from 14to15 secs to a bit less than 10 secs.
These are results in my own PC and also in this test of bvbfan

”
If you wish to test it, please do and verify if these boot-time results are fortunate and/or random cases, or if with the most of hardware are confirmed!
Your comments and results are most welcome in the comments to this post.
