[aklug] Re: Run Boot-Time Scripts in Parallel in Ubuntu

concurrency=shell is one of the first things I do on any new *buntu
install, real or virtual. Haven't seen a problem with it. I think that
the common sense should be that if you're getting complicated with
your init scripts, you might not want concurrency=shell. In my case,
it is entirely desktop and laptop installs, and nothing terribly
complicated.

I can't give any hard numbers, but I really don't think it makes much
difference one way or the other. As infrequently as linux installs
need to reboot, a few seconds here and there seems piddly. Except on
my Dell netbook. Changing concurrency=shell on that cut the boot time
down to seconds. But thats a terrible example.
