When Linux boots, the in memory state changes quite a bit. Even the actual code gets modified during boot. The whole process takes well under a second. Linux does support an “execute in place”, but it’s barely a win, and I don’t think it works on x86.
A more interesting idea is to put your OS installation on a DAX (direct access) filesystem.
