Will too many penguins at boot time wrap until all are displayed?


I just got a new board which is capable of 8 physical processors. With the upcoming +6 cores cpus, I'm just wondering how will the penguins be displayed on screen?

They will be displayed as one (1) magical pink unicorn named Bubbaloo.

I got my answer on irc

> like, <penguin>x8

I was just curious.
Three rows of 32 penguins would be a bit too much!!
Unless of course they were dancing.
Then I would have a chorus line!
LOL

Following up on another suggestion...

It was stated that it may be possible to set the penguin icons to a smaller size. If someone knows how to do that, please explain. As this would also apply to handheld devices.
