At this point, boot optimizations are starting to look like innovations in F1… changes here and there to get 0.001s lap time improvements.

I mean consider the energy savings globally over a year. Would be interesting to see how much time is saved totally by this patch.

For your average desktop or server installation, this isn’t big news. Where it matters a lot will be in embedded systems.
