Apparently Atheists are smarter than Agnostics
From OK Cupid's piece on race, culture and the differences in people's profiles on their dating site.
Further experimentation
My PC comes with something called "Express Gate" - a bootable linux attached to the motherboard that is theoretically "instant-on". Some brief timings later:
Time to boot to a completely limited OS with a cut-down version of Firefox which can't do addons: 22 seconds.
Time to boot to Windows full desktop and display the full version of Firefox with all of my bookmarks and addons: 65 seconds.
Time to resume from sleep to my complete Windows desktop: 3 seconds (of which 2 seconds is it reconnecting to the network and getting an IP address)
I think I'll stick with the last of these - all of the gain, none of the pain.

This is all pickwick's fault
