Will Ubuntu 9.04 Be Jauntily Fast?

[ Thanks to Michael Larabel for this link. ]

"We have boot-time benchmarks of the latest Ubuntu 9.04 work along with Linux desktop benchmarks comparing it to its predecessor, Ubuntu 8.10...

"Is Ubuntu 9.04 booting faster than its predecessor? With the Intel Atom netbook at least, it is a resounding yes! It took 29 seconds to boot Ubuntu 8.10 but only 21 seconds for Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4. Bootchart measured these results, all settings were left at their defaults, and in each case we did a clean installation of Ubuntu occupying the entire solid-state drive. Had we switched to using the EXT4 file-system the Ubuntu 9.04 performance may have been even better. Below are the Bootchart graphs for Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04, respectively."
