Description Raymond Bennett 2004-12-06 08:28:19 UTC 
In order to speed up boot time, services that can be started asynchronously, should be. The rc script should build a map of what services there are, and in what order they need to be started in, and then kickoff separate threads for each dependency chain.

There should also be a method to mark a service as serialize only.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
