Well, yes. It is the generic Ubuntu kernel booting in all its bloaty
glory. :) But this is what most users are stuck with. The distro vendors
won't change their ways because they want their stuff to run on
anything.
So I'm not trying to build a custom kernel just for me. I want to find
ways to have any distro optimize itself to boot in 5-10 seconds on any
computer it has been installed on, without manual configuration.

Alright, I'm on it.
Cheers,
