Just tell me it can boot 10x faster than FreeBSD on my laptop and I'm
sold. :)

You don't need a new BSD for this, you need SSD :P

I plan to chat with Jordan Hubbard about this at EuroBSDCon... it
sounds very interesting.

When combined, it can boot faster than even Windows can wake from
sleep.
What's the trick OS X uses to wake from sleep like a tablet, I wonder?

OS X knows its hardware.

I think it's sleep vs hibernation, I know my Mac is slow as a dog when
waking from hibernation.

OMG ~~[PONIES](http://build.nextbsd.org/data/)~~ ISOs.

*Yeah, I know.*

They disgust me too.

Even with a SSD FreeBSD isn't winning any races in terms of boot time.
Which does anyone know why that is? I seem to recall people arguing
that the amount of time spent after init is executed is minimal anyway
so parallel init systems wouldn't make a big difference.

Launchd doesn't init everything at boot and I guess after sleep. It
does so when these things are needed.

I'm not sure I can take this seriously with that page around...

Me too, but why?

FreeBSD takes way too long to load a kernel image compared to other
OSes.  Linux kernels can load in milliseconds, for example.
