Sorry. I like fast boots as much as the next person - this is just a
bad trade. We only save ourselves (much) less than a second of boot
time, but turn a common and simple practice into a major headache.
If anyone has a bash/awk/whatever initscript that actually takes a
user-noticeable amount of time to run, this means that you've done
something badly wrong - it isn't the language at fault. I would be
happy to help you fix this - just poke me on IRC.
But the speed ups _add_ up ... lets say you save x, y, z time uints
for script A, B and C ...
you end up saving x+y+z.
