Yep, it's a loooot faster. But then, when you decide to boot NetBSD on these boxes, you're not really doing it for practical reasons anyway, so part of the experience is waiting a few hours for /etc/rc.d/sshd to do its thing.

Probably more relevant on more "borderline" hosts. My SPARCstation 2 can just barely run NetBSD 10 at what I'd call "tolerable speeds" for some concept of "real work", and it's something like 50x the speed of the 780!

Disable some booted services at /etc/rc.conf:
