first measurements:

booting (from pressing enter on boot command to seeing login:) on my
486/66 notebook with 8MB RAM and 850MB disk.

with static /bin and /sbin: 62 seconds. without: 53 seconds.

please note that kernel inself boots 12 seconds, there are stuff started
like sshd and pppd etc..

so the difference IS large.

there are big visual difference when using /bin and /sbin commands
especially ls,ps,df and top when system is loaded and swapping - they 
starts about 2 times faster.
