starting init script parallell and in background?

Hi,

just a simply idea: what about starting init.d scripts,which do not
depend on each other parallell instead of sequential,perhaps this could
speed up startup. Ok it would need some tricks that output is not messed
up and that services which depend on each other still are started in order.
