How often do you reboot anyway?

The point is I avoid rebooting so why make rebooting faster, if I never have to.

This 20 minutes all depends on variables, state of the battery and it's capacity, temperature; also we are working from rough timings and amperes.

I do agree BME is balls and shows that it has eaten the whole battery after two boot cycles, whereas from or calculations it's more like 1%.
Either way more CPU cycles equal more current.

Take the example calculations again this shows it is better (more battery saving) to keep the device on over switching it off, unless you are switching off for more than 20-30 minutes.

I did not find /etc/Xsession.* on mine, only /etc/X11/Xsession.*

Removed the dots and... nothing bad happened

I was expecting a blank screen for an uncomfortably long time but nothing like that. The dots were quite unnecessary indeed. Thanks, reinob!

Thanks for the correction (although I wrote /etc/Xsession.*, not /etc/XSession.*

Simple list of what packages and files can be removed, I guess.
No warranty! Own risk!

apt-get remove --purge cherry
rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/34cherry
apt-get remove --purge hildon-welcome
rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10hildon_welcome
rm /etc/X11/Xsession.post/04hildon-welcome-wait
apt-get remove --purge hildon-welcome-default-logo
rm -r /etc/hildon-welcome.d
apt-get remove --purge osso-startup-wizard
rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30osso_startup_wizard
apt-get remove --purge hildon-startup-progress
rm /etc/event.d/hildon-startup-progress
rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/01xprogress
rm /etc/X11/Xsession.post/22xprogress-stop

Note: those last 2 files weren't even present on my device, however I didn't even purge hildon-startup-progress yet.

This could be useful also.
Maybe foobars list can be moved here when the wiki's up again.

Well for me just purging removed everything. The other lines gave nothing as there was nothing to delete.
