I rather like systemd, not because I feel like I'll ever be able to
understand it ("mind numbing complexity" is a phrase that comes to
mind :-), but because it really and truly does indeed boot the system
much much faster. Not small percentage benchmark faster, but big
human perceptible speed increases.

Of course, at the moment, some of that speed may be because it
isn't actually doing everything (like getting NFS filesystems mounted).
