Dapper vs. Breezy LiveCD boot time/memory usage

[Chip Piller]

The boot time and memory usage of the May 12 release of the Ubuntu
dapper-live-i386 LiveCD was compared to the Breezy final LiveCD on three
different computers. 
 
                          Boot Time        Memory usage
System                  dapper/breezy    dapper/breezy
=================================================================== 
Pentium 4-1.5GHz          4:39/4:19        476k/430k
Pentium III-1GHz          2:52/3:40        472k/435k
AMD64-3200+               3:41/4:44        487k/449k      

Memory usage was determined by waiting until the liveCD had completed booting
and then launching a terminal window and using "free" command.

Boot times were about 22% faster on two systems running dapper and about 8%
slower on the third system. 

Memory usage reported by "free" was approximately 9% higher for all systems
running dapper.
