``IBM's DeveloperWorks explains how to decrease boot times for your
Linux box. The concept is to load system services in parallel when
possible.''

I wonder how we could do the same in NetBSD.
Maybe let rcorder start the services (on demand?), instead of just
printing some order? Adding an option to make it print services that can
be printed in parallel on one line ("s1\n s21 s22 s23\n s3") which won't
harm when used in ``s, and another switch to actually start things
(possibly in parallel)?
