Startup time to "ready" does include the server init; so such an effort

But I think if we can squeeze a bit more speed out of initialization, 
there's no harm in trying for it.  The performance data that comes from 
this analysis has already been used to target areas that will improve 
performance for every part of startup, including deployment (maybe 
substantially).
