According to the 2023’s Second Quarter Status Report boot optimizations speed up kernel boot process.
The developer Colin Percival implemented a mergesort algorithm instead of the 30+ year old bubblesort of SYSINITs.
Bubblesort is a sorting algortithm that compares each element of an array with the next one and sorts them, whereas mergesort divides the array into subarrays. This system boosted speed by a factor of 100x.

One of them is associated with the update process of the freebsd-update tool, as it incorrectly deleted files in /etc/, in case that the file to be
updated matched the new release and was different than the old release …Yeap sounds pretty … serious 🙂 Funny is that in order to apply the patch you have to use the same freebsd-update command lol
