And in fact it was true in some cases. I had a systemd VM that booted
in 2 seconds, while all my non-systemd VMs were booting in 6 to 9
seconds.

But of course, none of these VMs needed to DHCP resolve with Network
Manager. What is that, 20 seconds? Add in unskilled implementers and
systemd's propensity to start hundreds of processes, and pretty soon it
takes some serious time to boot, if you count logging in, which you
must, because the way they do things some things can't be completed til
login.
