It's not related. There are more drivers now :-). Personally I don't notice any delays except for the SCSI drivers. I temporarily have 2 SCSI controllers installed, and need SCSI_DELAY=8 to get the cdrom recognized, while in 1.1.5 I didn't need SCSI_DELAY because the ultrastor driver was too broken to miss it. The BIOS has similar delays, so it takes almost 90 seconds to boot, while a clunky IDE system takes only 15 seconds. Bruce
