Yes same here, too. Not only boot is faster with dash also in running
system the cpu load went down from ~3% to <1%.

And as it is a Debian policy that all scripts must be POSIX compatible
(and Dash is) there seems to be no problem.

In interactive shell i still use bash (which is defined in /etc/password)
