One would expect the bloat to slow it down.  Of course if you disable
all unnecessary stuff in /etc/rc2.d, rc3.d/inittab,inetd.conf then 
they are all pretty much equal configurations.  Is 8 faster than 7?
7 than 2.6? 2.6 than 2.5.1? ...  The only radical speed difference I've
seen is 2.1 is significantly slower than the later versions.
Has anyone done a quantitative comparison?
