Boot-up Time Delay Taxonomy
NOTE!! - This information has not yet been transferred from the internal wiki yet.
The goal of the taxonomy is to organize the different delays into categories based on (at least) 3 different attributes:
- boot phase where boot phase is one of: firmware, kernel, user space
- magnitude
- type of delay where type is one of: systemic, hardware, busy-wait
(delay type is weird. I need to think about this more - TimBird)
Taxonomy Table
Boot Phase | Type | Magnitude | Delay |
---|---|---|---|
firmware | hardware | 1-8 seconds | hard disk spin-up |
