The original pursuit was to speed boot times up. There were different areas decided on to gain the speed increases. Where do we stand w.r.t. bypassing postcar? With nothing else changing aside from removal of postcar (this and prior patch) what are the numbers to compare? Are they a small net difference that are only achievable by carrying more options/code?
