I haven't noticed a problem with speed here aside from the first boot (which does take an inordinately long time--what on earth is it doing exactly?).
Actually, that's the speed problem that I was talking about. As far as I know, it builds the manifests into a binary file that contents all the data declared on it. I'm not an SMF expert so please correct me if I'm wrong. Another problem is the boot archive one, as far as I know, is the equivalent of the init ram disk on Linux, it takes tons of time to generate it and its mandatory on reboot on some situations. Probably someone with a deeper kwoledge than me can give more detail about this. Anyway, keeping less services as possible would be not only useful for speed purposes while generating the SMF manifest index, but also, to keeps things simple and save ram for the live session that we need. -ian
