Ehm isn't poweroff a 'hard' thing. Like, it doesn't shutdown services and the 
such? My system runs "/sbin/shutdown -h now".

That boottime is about what I get too, but I never clocked it after I enabled 
the parallel rc stuff genoo has. Edit /etc/conf.d/rc and set 
RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes", don't know if it helps anything though. :-P

Hehe, I think I have a little advantage that I can read the German 
nvram-wakeup forums. There's stated that you can download the CVS version, or 
just the definitions header file, and it would work after a recompile.

btw, I think that it might be possible to directly write in UNIX epoch 
to /proc/acpi/alarm and have it work, though I never tried that. Obviously 
you would need to have the wake-up feature enabled in the BIOS already 
(nvram-wakeup does that for you).
