I do agree in principle -- and in production, a 9 minute POST is a
non-issue .. That means at MOST I will spend 27 minutes a year sitting
on my thumbs (or, perhaps more accurately, I can attribute 27 minutes
of the HOURS I waste to "waiting for POST to complete.")
Unfortunately, when one is working his way through testing a big pile
of SBus cards, a nine-minute turnaround can really hurt the days
production! (The obvious solution for that specific mission is "use a
different machine")
I actually DID elect to get the latest OBP / FCode patch, and it
installed absolutely painlessly. Now the warm-boot time is down to
107 seconds, and cold start is down to about 5 minutes.
