cto vs nocto made no difference … but, am doing some compares between oldnfs and nfs … it looks like oldnfs cuts off about 60s from the start time, but want to do a few runs …

Of note, I reformatted the Linux box with OpenBSD (god, what a nightmare its ports system is) and OpenBSD startup times are ~180s … I'd like to know what Linux is doing to get 'near local drive' start up times though, and what risk is associated with it …
