Im well aware of Lennart talking about it but the relevant matter is whether it was ever brought up in the conversation or not. If youre saying its on me to prove a claim you better be fucking sure i made or care about the claim in the first place. And on this list its consistently the anti-fanboys that make the claim, because even Lennart himself doesnt emphasize the speed as much as is imagined - he often mentions it as a mere side effect of a "clean" bootup. Id link you the posts that say so if i werent on a moving train.
