There were significant gains in bootup speed when some fixes were made 
after charting out the boot speed using http://bootchart.sf.net which 
was specifically designed for that task.

No. It has stalled for now. If you want to keep track of this,  register 
and add yourself to the CC list to this tracker report

Regular bootchart reports from testers during the development releases 
would be quite useful to make sure there arent any regressions.

Initng is currently being reviewed for inclusion in Fedora Extras 
repository. One of the advantages happens to quicker bootup. Also 
software suspend aka hibernation is enabled in current development 
version and in FC5 test 1 releases. Check this out and provide feedback
