Interesting - a while ago when I implemented VSA code into LinuxBIOS on 
a GX platform, my entire boot time was 9.5 seconds, which by this 
calculation means that LinuxBIOS and loading a kernel would have taken 
-0.5 seconds. Serious though, I found a negligible impact on boot times 
with/without VSA code.

I do not buy that argument.
