It also depends on what you did after the machine was running the
s:startup-sequence. Mine was "rather large" in a sequence of files that
setup a world of macros and brought up an initial console window right
at the end after running a whole lot of background utilities. Wizardess
World was erm a minute or two for booting. But once in it life was nice.
(I miss some of the utilities I had running.)
