init scripts time

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

Recently I've thought that my machines take too long to boot.  I've been
having a look at the boot times.  Here's one that I think is excessive:

root@ivanova:/etc/rcS.d#time . ./S50hwclock.sh

Local time: Sun Oct 11 04:11:43 EST 1998


real    0m7.643s
user    0m5.710s
sys     0m1.940s


8 seconds to run 2 hwclock commands is IMHO too much as hwclock isn't doing
anything (the /etc/adjtime file contains "0.0 0 0.0").  Is there some reason
that this command needs to take so long?
