Well, I never tested a dumped image and in my case I don't care at
all about the startup speed, because as I'm a massive user of
suspend-to-disk (sometime suspend-to-ram, too), I don't reboot my
laptop (and consequently my X) so often.

Moreover, as I track the CVS version, I don't need to dump a new image
every time there's a new commit ;-) [OK, StumpWM has not a lot of
commits, but just to explain you my idea]

As I already stated, IMHO we should provide both solutions, maybe
triggered by a command-line option ?  Faré, what do you think about
it?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
