17:43:36 <ptribble> I guess we have a way to go.
17:47:55 <jclulow> haha
17:48:11 <jclulow> I mean I think that's time to first process right
17:48:20 <pmooney> well and in a firecracker context, right?
17:48:24 <jclulow> Yeah
17:48:45 <pmooney> which does have some implications
17:48:58 <tsoome_> if you are billed for CPU time, you do not want to pay for slow boot.
17:48:59 <pmooney> (not to diminish the accomplishment, though)
17:49:48 <tsoome_> and yes, some nice techniques are used to measure time spent.
18:33:41 <sommerfeld> well and that setting also doesn't have to wait for hardware & drivers to get their act together after reset.
20:52:53 <sjorge> my hw all spends more time getting ready than it takes for the loader to load all the way to boot
20:53:32 <sjorge> ok maybe not if i take into account my vms starting but those are additional OS's of there own so i think its fair
22:07:05 <sommerfeld> sjorge: it's 25ms to boot *in a specialized VM*, not on bare metal.   For one thing, the VM monitor used passes device configuration to the kernel as command line arguments at boot time.
