"For a long time, Linux has been blamed to boot slowly, compared to other modern operating systems. In this article, we are going to focus on a new init system we developed for our Pardus Linux distribution, Mudur, together with other initiatives that are worth mentioning. Mudur is written from scratch in Python with simplicity, speed and maintainability in mind. It isn't a replacement for the /sbin/init command like some other alternatives, nor just a parallel script executor. Mudur greatly simplified our boot process, making it faster and more flexible. Authors look forward for future boot process research for further improvement and optimizations."

they lost me in the part that says, it will improve application launches too, post-startup!
what r they saying and how is this possible, do they mean to cache most used apps like win_xp does?
/*Boot time is shortened only a bit, but since it can cache not only boot process but user session as well, typical launch time of an application like OpenOffice.org from cold start of the computer is significantly improved without even using preloading*/
