yes is another occasion for rejoicing for all of us :^) and I find
this a very interesting point since most systemd arguments talk about
"booting times" but here is really about "login times". now wearing
the hat of a desktop user, my habit when switching on is:

1- start the computer
2- go pour myself a glass of kefir
3- come back to desk and login
4- start working

so well I am ready to wait between 1 and 3, may even indulge in
harvesting more fresh kefir, but when I'm at 3 I'm already warming up
my fingers with speedy password typing and want to have everything
ready, its all rolling and I have stuff to do ASAP.

so well - in my humble experience - login time is really much more
"precious", second only to compile time (solved by Samba's ccache and
distcc)
