Hmm, it’s hard to draw any conclusion though, because systemd can do things concurrently, so perhaps the process startup slowness is invisible because it’s able to perform other startup work while waiting for daemons. (It also spawns fewer daemons because some of these are subsumed by PID 1.) Who knows! Ludo’.
