Debian switched to dash in Unstable/Testing a in Summer 2009, maybe they have produced some statistics about the effects? They aren't usually doing such intrusive changes without good reason.
Are there any statistics about the effects? Not only faster booting but also the side effects like required chnages on third party scripts and even the side effects on using the (g)libc system standard function call system(3).

Uh I don't know about any, I was hoping somebody frequenting the Debian Community might know about them =) As coolo outlined debian worked quite some time on their initscripts to remove bashisms, I think they had a script to check all their initscripts and autofile a bugreport if it found a bashonly script. Still it'd be nice to see if they had any advantage after doing the switch, if this is about 3% less boot time it's propably not worth the effort for 11.3. Btw., it looks to me like most distributions ship their own init scripts for all the daemons, even when they use the same init system, couldn't this effort be unified?
