How can we reduce the booting time in olinuxino A13 using 8 GB SD card ?

Load only essential modules, turn off unneeded services.

Build a minimal kernel.

Or don't use modules at all, compile all required drivers into the kernel (so you can also remove udev). And don't use a normal SysV-style init, try the wondrous busybox and write own rcS and rcD scripts. I now have testing image on slow old non-HC SD 1GB card and it boots under 8 seconds into shell prompt.
