It seems that postfix's startup time has greatly regressed, on my laptop
there are very long delays both at boot:
,----
| $ systemd-analyze blame | head -n1
| 33.340s postfix@-.service
`----
as well when restarting postfix:
,----
| $ time sudo systemctl restart postfix.service
| sudo systemctl restart postfix.service 0,06s user 0,03s system 0% cpu 38,611
total
`----
Clearly something fishy is going on here.
