apart from some icq sharing it seems to be ok, doesnt it ?

i turned of acpi on startup an voila :) : gdm starts two times faster as
before (!) (30s -> 15-17s)

can anyone explain me why, pls ?

and the other question is: do i really need acpi ? 
i run a desktop system so suspend/resume is not interesting for me.
does fbsd/acpi supend the disk when the system idles ? (linux does not)

thx 
seb
