  What little testing I have done with this strongly suggests  
otherwise.  Perhaps NetBSD has different disk usage characteristics  
than Darwin, but I'd be surprised if it were that bad.  My point was  
that not all startup items are disk bound, and my mixing in a disk  
task with another waiting on the network, you get a big win.
