hey, I just timed it: power-on to root prompt, 7 seconds. And with a bit
more work I can get it down to < 5.

So think about this: on-demand computing with plan 9 means you just turn
off the CPUs until you need them, since booting them is not exactly a
lengthy process.

I was surprised to see how much more quickly Plan 9 came up than 9load
does. Not expected.
