10.4: Play with the fake startup progress bar
Authored by: gidds on Jun 28, '05 05:56:00PM

AIUI, it's not showing you how fast the computer's actually booting up, because it can no longer TELL how fast the computer's booting up. It has a list of services to start; in previous version, it would start one and then wait for it to complete before starting the next; so it was easy to tell how far it'd got. Now, though, it starts them all in parallel, which can be much faster, but means you don't get the nice linear progress measurement -- you just have to wait until they're all done.
