it's really not clear to me that 'reboots in seconds' is a thing to optimize... I suppose the win is: "Is the startup/shutdown process clear, conscise and understandable at 3am local time?" followed by: "Can I adjust my startup processes to meet my needs easily and without finding a phd in unix?" If systemd is simply a change in how I think about /etc/init.d/* and /etc/rc?.d/* cool, if it's more complexity and less EASY flexibility then it's a fail. -chris
