Hey, this is obviously a very basic question of tying (the timing of) a
program to single spec'd hardware platform. This should not happen on
most sensibly written software even from the olden days.

Still, I don't think I'm running much bloatware (or is the linux kernel
bloated?) and for reasons unexplained my computer still boots a hefty
number of seconds. The X subsystem loads and loads, the LCD get black,
grey, blanked, turned off, turned on, then I can see the default X
background... Terrible.
