Normal long message posting boot allows time for several things to take place, fsck, ram and rom flash, cron jobs, ram balancing adjustments on 64bit dual boot systems, dual port boards, one UEFI, other legacy, etc. All of my four personal; machines are setup to boot message post, and any machine that leaves my bench is setup that way. Long boot times before the grub selection screen are safer, even anti-virus can be added, and then you have time to get a cup of coffee. A minute or so extra after, until the chosen OS login screen, is not particularly annoying to me. Boot speed has nothing to do with OS speed. Any linux system on a machine with enough ram 4gig or more, and at least a SATA disk, can be slimmed down and configured to load mostly into ram using Slack tools, and run lightening fast. Fast boot does not mean fast system, and fast system does not always mean hardened system though that is sometimes the case; i/e Debian. The more important question is: How much does the tool in question increase the weight of the system, and is it worth having on that basis? That may be a moot point as well, considering I often encounter windows7 systems using 70gig or more of disk space for the OS itself. The speed improvement of this OS compared to windows10 on the same Dell computer I have in my home for family use is readily evident. Perhaps separating sudo and root, and adding a root choice to the login screen like Kali, would make the tool failsafe, but again this would increase the weight of the system. Best wishes.
