Basic statistics

When

• Bootloader from CPi's OS image
• Using BSP kernel, tweaked
• Arch Linux userspace(rootfs)

I got:

• Startup time: about 20 seconds
  • Network Manager enabled(disable it cuts 5 seconds)
• Shutdown time: about 13 seconds
• Idle CPU load: around 30%
• Memory usage after boot: less than 70 MB
  • no extra service except Network Manager

Linux kernel
