Parallelised Boot Sequence. Petter Reinholdtsen [16]restarted the [17]discussion about executing init scripts in parallel and provided a simple patch against rc that will simply execute all scripts with the same priority in parallel. Based on the [18]LSB he [19]provided an example for a dependency block in init scripts that could be parsed by future startup programs.

We can set the grub prompt delay to less than the default 20 seconds. Five seconds should be enough.
