Using 'timebar:2' modifies the percentage calculation to use an exponential function - this makes the bar run faster at first, then slow as it approaches 100%. This makes startup seem even faster. Seriously!Awesome. Humans are so gullible.
True, though I can think of ONE situation where faster boot times are desirable: laptop users. For the minute or so it takes my laptop to boot and initiate my session (no automatic session start, though), if the battery is at full 100% charge, it will eat 5% of the charge during that minute... Just do some math here and at that rate, should anything happen during boot (like the scan of the largest partition on the drive), there's only 20 or so minutes of power.
