Wow, that's a great idea!  Put those unused init runlevels to work!   
With Debian/Ubuntu runlevel 2 is normal, and 3-5 are unused or really  
just the same as 2.  On other distros, I guess its different.  Put  
update-rc.d to work!  I wonder if we could make a package or script  
that configured the performance runlevel?
