You misunderstood me.
If there has been this improvement - and I've seen a slight, not dramatic,
improvement - it could perfecly well have been taken up by chkconfig,
which as far as I can see just draws up (or drew up)
a list of daemons to start at boot-time.
How they were started does not seem to have much to do with chkconfig.

Incidentally, none of the systemctl advocates has answered my query:
How do I say "chkconfig openvpn on" in systemctl-speak?
