'rccups start' ? - surely that forks and exits before spawns cups - so that
time is pretty meaningless. Doing an strace -f -ttt - it took me of the order
of a second to get a cups up and quiescent on a very fast, un-loaded,
warm-disk-cache, machine.

the problem is not - that cups might be able to start fast on an un-loaded
machine with all it's data set in memory; but that when you have fifteen
processes burning only a second of (a fast) CPU at start - that is a fifteen
second boot ;-) and when you have fifteen processes all wanting to read 500k of
scattered data - that is a lot of seeks to process.

So - anything to defer that work much appreciated: and of course, the race is
still then on to make cups start as quickly as possible when xinetd starts it
:-)
