I don't care about systemd speed. I really am completely ambivalent about PID1; I've run Upstart, I've run systemd, I've run OpenRC, and they all work fine. All I'm saying is that a common point in the systemd community seems to be its awesome performance (unless I'm reading the wrong documentation and conversations), and burden of proof is on the party making the claim. But also, caring about speed and resource usage are important. If one of the three PID1s I've mentioned took 30 seconds to boot my system, I would not use it. If it took 10% of my RAM, I would not use it. Lucky for us, all three are fast enough and have a small enough footprint that it doesn't matter which is used. Alec
