How strange. How do other combinations like readahead, dash and 'shell' concurrency end up? > + Tried again to put the network in the background but still I can't > obtain any time improvement.

I guess you have a very quick DHCP server. No idea why bootchart claim the process take 7 seconds. Btw, I just discovered the 'quiet' boot option. It is similar to setting VERBOSE=no in /etc/default/rcS. Can you check if it affect boot speed? Do you have an updated table with the time saved using the different hotspots?
