Performance shock (BS)

[James Carroll]

Look for things like network interfaces that you aren't using, but are
listed as wanting dhcp resolution in /etc/networking/interfaces.  Once
I commented out my unused eth0, and commented out the 'script grep'
line under mapping hotplug, it took a minute off my boot, and 45
seconds off my resume from suspend-to-ram.
