from here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd
"systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV 
and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization 
capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, 
offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using 
Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, 
maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate 
transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a 
drop-in replacement for sysvinit. For more information, watch the video 
at http://linuxconfau.blip.tv/file/4696791/ or 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyMLi8QF6sw"

in other words, in can start services up in parallel, instead of waiting 
for each one to initiate before going to the next...
