This is a curiosity question that has begun to nag at me.

Why/how are the tmb-kernels able to boot soooo much faster than 
the 'main' kernel?

For those who are not aware I boot to init 3 not to a DM.

This kernel, tmb-3.5.3-1 or any tmb-kernel, boots to the command prompt
in less than 25 sec.
On the other hand with the 'main' kernels it takes nearly 2 mins
to reach the same prompt.
