If I had the money I'd set up a small yearly prize for "quickest boot on an RPi". Have some rules for what is or isn't allowed, and maybe different categories (IE, "anything goes" for people who want to overclock the hardware) but concentrating on having a usable system when you finish timing.
The boot to a desktop in 5 seconds on an EEE PC 701 is still impressive.
Noodling through the author's site it's pretty interesting to see what they did to cut times, and they're honest about this just being about boot time.
Does anyone else do this kind of optimization, or does it carry too much risk or cost?
