I've used the bootchart utility to profile a standard Arch kernel26+devfs+syslogd+GDM system which generated the following chart. Boot time is about 50 seconds and the most noticeable problems are the library links update and the network script being run twice.
I've compiled a simple console based Arch Linux system based on the uClibc library. There's only 8 required packages plus whatever kernel package you wish to use.
I generated a call graph of the pacman 2.8.3 source for your amusement. Click for the larger version.
Quick open the door!!
