Effect of using "native" jobs on boot time?

Personally I replaced init completely with upstart some months ago. And
I gained nothing in boot speed. Is was almost the same, or slower. I
can't say.
But ...
- I wasn't using sysvinit scripts but ArchLinux scripts that are based
on BSD init. So it was already fast.
- I didn't replaced the basic script that mount /proc, check
partitions, mount them ... in /etc/rc.sysinit. I called directly that
script from an upstart job.


But I wasn't looking for quicker boot, just more flexibility. For
example I thought that I could start CUPS when I connect a printer, and
not if I don't ... things like that. But I couldn't do that so I came
back to my old init.

By the way, what is that you call native jobs ?
