Thanks for pointing out the systemd-analyze command.

I ran systemd-analyze on three recent installs of F16.

Laptop:
Startup finished in 1028ms (kernel) + 2518ms (initramfs) + 29845ms 
(userspace) = 33393ms
Worst offender: 2134ms ntpdate.service

Desktop:
Startup finished in 2016ms (kernel) + 3615ms (initramfs) + 31713ms 
(userspace) = 37344ms
Worst offender: 9455ms NetworkManager.service

Server:
Startup finished in 2229ms (kernel) + 3941ms (initramfs) + 50937ms 
(userspace) = 57108ms
Worst offender: 14371ms ntpdate.service

As I run NTP on all these, I have now disabled ntpdate on all.

My gut-feeling after these install has been no improvement of start-up 
speed. I.e. I have not said to myself "wow, how fast it started". So the 
next question will obviously be, how can I use the data gathered with 
"systemd-analyze blame" to improve start-up speed? Besides finding 
started daemons that I have no need for, like removing ntpdate, that I 
just realized was enabled on my systems, even when using NTP?
