It requires about just as long (3 secs) on my desktop machine *without*
systemd by just using my custom bash init script (no sysvinit or openrc
either).
Furthermore, I use no SSD.
But there's also no login required so it's probably even faster -- and
there's also no long list of permanently running daemons as well.
(After a boot, ps ax shows a very sparse process list.)
For me, systemd is totally unnecessary, excessively burdensome, and
highly obfuscating to a complete control and understanding of my
system.
To each his own. If you want/need it, fine. But don't expect me,
or everyone else, to slavishly follow.
As has been more or less officially stated, systemd is an attempt to
provide a uniform and monolithic kernel-user space interface FOR THE
BENEFIT OF POTENTIAL (COMMERCIAL) SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS. RedHat wants
Linux to be just like MS Windows so that *they* (RedHat) can be just
like MS Windows.
Let RedHat leave (fork) the Linux community and go their own separate
way.
Maybe it's time to begin shifting a lot more attention to
Gentoo/FreeBSD.
