At this point, boot optimizations are starting to look like innovations in F1... changes here and there to get 0.001s lap time improvements.

I mean consider the energy savings globally over a year. Would be interesting to see how much time is saved totally by this patch.

Probably enough to turn on an incandescent light bulb

For your average desktop or server installation, this isn't big news. Where it matters a lot will be in embedded systems.
