I haven't run bootchart yet, but I can tell it's significantly faster than debian out of the box. The first thing I noticed is that I like it's fast boot time. What drew me to it is the i686 optimized packages. I'm new to Arch (coming from debian), so I'd like to take a paragraph and comment on it.
