Shift regularly - that's my advice. I do note you didn't contribute to the subject. So the question AGAIN - what's a good balance between a slower-booting 'heavier' distro and a faster-booting "light" distro ? Some things may be worth waiting that extra few seconds ... or not, depending. IMHO there's no "perfect" distro/desktop as "perfection" hinges on the exact hardware/mission involved.
