Yes, we are probably a lot to suffer of this. Today, 2mn for a status, 1m10s for the last line on my main personal server. # echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches # time systemctl status postfix.service postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since sam. 2013-10-12 20:29:22 CEST; 6h ago Process: 248 ExecStart=/usr/bin/postfix start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 522 (master) CGroup: /system.slice/postfix.service ├─ 522 /usr/lib/postfix/master -w ├─ 524 ... oct. 13 03:02:07 ...
