Kernel log info

Is it possible to disable the verbosity of the kernel when a machine boots?
And would it make it boot any faster?

I was looking at Knoppix boot, and it shows no messages on my machine and
seems to boot _much_ faster than my normal setup does, and I was curious if
that had to do with the kernel not spitting out all the info?
