If you want to optimize boot time have a look at bootchart:

,----[ bootchart ]
| Package: bootchart
| 
| Description: boot sequence auditing and chart generator
|  bootchart allows you to audit the boot sequence of your
|  computer and generate a pretty chart of the processes run,
|  including how long they took and how much CPU and I/O they used
| 
|  The auditing is performed by adding a script to the top of
|  your initramfs which lives inside is own tiny filesystem during
|  the boot process and monitors the rest of the system booting
