Not sure that fedora core uses the project utopia stuff and I imagine 
thats a lot of work on boot up.

strangly enough I see the oposite here.

debian sid 1gz laptop 2.6 kernel boots to gdm in less than 60 seconds
debian sid 440mhz ultra 10 boots to gdm in about 75 seconds
ubuntu G3 powerbook boots to gdm in about 75 seconds
(I didn't boot the alpha server running sarge or any of the more obscure 
machines just the ones I use daily)

gf's 3.2ghz windows home machine boots in ~60 seconds when it's got more 
raw power than the other machines and a far faster harddrive.
