Modern servers are virtual machines. They take hardly any noticeable time
from 'power-on' to the grub screen, so how fast the boot process is, is
really decided in the shell script phase. If from time to time you have to
reboot during production hours it's really useful that Squeeze boots up so
much faster than Lenny, and even faster would be even better.
