Yeah, and it's also possible to tell shutdown to use -f (don't fsck on
reboot) but if he REALLY cares about speed...
...then he needs to not reboot!
It's different if you're changing the kernel out, which really needs a reboot
(well, at least until they have the "kernel can load a new kernel" feature
solid) but in that case, let it do it right.
