I've not long installed InitNG on my desktop running Ubuntu Breezy which was taking around a minute to boot and about 25 seconds to shutdown, which isn't bad at all but it wouldn't hurt to be faster. I heard about InitNG quite some time ago and never got round to trying it. InitNG is meant to be the next generation of init, it will start up init scripts asynchronously rather than in sequence to provider faster boot and shutdown times.

The install was very simple, no problems at all and the results are amazing as my system now boots in 28 seconds, and shuts down in around 8 seconds. That's greater than a 50% increase in boot speed for a few minutes of my time!
