I tested a patch for a while. I didn't notice any slow down in boot time.
Well, I haven't measured it but I can't see any noticeable difference
even booting from an USB key.

I have to be honest, I don't understand the patch but any comments on
performance without an evident profiling seems to me a
"premature optimization" that is known to be the root of all devils (D. Knuth)
