In the embedded space, quick boot is a really important feature to have. Many people resort to awful hacks in order to improve boot time, and so I would welcome this option.
I have seen arm systems that boot in 300 ms. I would say that 50 ms is maybe not such a small improvement after all.
Thanks, Richard
