Make your computer boot in 10 seconds or less.
I just fiddled with my Arch Linux installation to make it boot a bit faster. I discovered this nice little project called finit, which originally was meant for people owning an Eeepc or similar netbook, but it now also works with normal computers.
So I installed this, and got rid of slim for logging in and just make it log in automatically for me, which is pretty nice.
The only thing you really need to do is to specify what init you want in your grub configuration, which in this case is finit.
Take a look at this boot chart:
