Performance measurements for DSL

1. ran in qemu on my laptop with -cdrom dsl.iso option. It boots in average of 50 seconds.

qemu -cdrom dsl.iso -net nic -net user

1. It took 1 min 10 seconds for qemu to get in working state
2. Out of these, first 20 seconds were taken by gpxe itself, in
   1. seting up dhcp
   2. loading initial script
   3. seting up dhcp again (because script asks)
   4. Geting pxeknife up

Command used for this is

$ qemu -fda bin/gpxe.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://192.168.0.2/pxeknife/pxeDHCP.gpxe
