If you talk to new Linux users, yes they may want a faster boot up. However, if you talk to the most hardcore programming Linux geeks you can imagine, they would be very concerned about such a huge level of bloat (relatively speaking). I would not be suprised if Linux using big-business got involved to streamline HAL and other such processes, since large levels of disk access can only be a bad thing, especially for embedded systems.
