Tests were done on Lenin.
When doing a full boot with X, hotplug and the network daemons, minit does not gain
me much, because hotplug needs 40 seconds for the USB coldplug stuff and X has to
wait for this (Init: 01:10, Minit: 01:06). However, the gettys are up after 7 seconds
with minit, because the hotplugging stuff can be done in the background (Init needs
a whopping 01:03 before I can start to do any work). For shutting down the services,
Init needs 16 seconds, while Minit needs only 4.
Binaries:
Unfortunately, you will not really notice this, because 25k are hardly much on
today's systems. But with 17 multilogs and a minit running, I have roughly
the same memory footprint as with sysvinit.
