Is there a simple way to find what is causing the disk IO? Each
script starts /bin/sh and then sources /etc/init.d/functions. Is
there any way to save that IO?
It should all be cached after the first shell, so that doesn't really
help *that* much.
I remember taking out something on the order of 40 invocations of
grep (or some other random subprocess) out of the boot - it saved
less than one second. :/
