Update - the above numbers were with an older version and with the cache partition located at the very end of the drive (hence being a lot slower than the root partition at the front). The fcache boot takes 33 seconds now, from the kernel starts loading to the kde login has finished. Probably 5 seconds of that time is device probe and network setup (dunno why the latter is still sleeping so much, I disabled dhcp for this test to avoid waits (for both fcache and normal boot, of course)).
