I have seen a write up about it from the guy who runs Distro Watch
http://distrowatch.com/  He did state that it appeared to be fairly
quick.  However, I like to try distro's myself as I have found they
can behave differently on various mixes of hardware.  If it is quicker
I'd like to know what they have pulled from the boot sequence to gain
the speed.  I wonder if they have removed some modules from the kernel
- though, from what I have read that doesn't really make much
difference.

If my back wasn't screaming at me I'd try installing it on a spare
PC... but right now it's hurting and it's too cold to go out to my
workshop :-(
