If you boot OpenBSD thousands of times per day it adds up. I can imagine this being the case for people running big server farms or doing virtualization stuff.


These are servers and I reboot them only when necessary. It's a pet peeve, but a big one.


In my experience time to boot everything else on server far exceeds any OS shenaningans.

I had servers that took up to 5 minutes from start/reboot to GRUB prompt. And they were not some 60 drive monsters but typical dual CPU 1U servers...


At 7% of 28ms, if you boot it a thousand times per day you get a whopping 2 seconds.


no, if your SATA/SAS stalls for 20s you get 20s
