Please be careful not to take Lennart's remark out of context.  A server
takes longer /than a desktop/ since it doesn't take full advantage of
systemd; it doesn't take longer than without systemd, because presumably
the SysV init emulation doesn't have a significant performance penalty.
There is no disadvantage of systemd here.

If you were just saying that it may be worth the effort at some point to
optimize server boot time, that point is taken.
