hwclock delaying boot...

[Daniel J Blueman]

Boot-charting jaunty-A3 [1] on my SSD system, we see both the
'hwclockfirst.sh' and 'hwclock.sh' init scripts invoke 'hwclock
--hctosys --utc', being significant on the map.

Each invocation takes up to 1 second (0.5 on average, due to waiting
for the next second), however, is there a good reason why they haven't
been/can't be combined into a single script and invocation?

Thanks,
  Daniel
