I think you mean Systemd because systemctl is the command used to control Systemd. Systemd is a replacement for SysVInit which enables initialization to occur in parallel at boot time. It is this parallelism that enables fast boot time. Koen Kooi demonstrated a boot time of less than 1 second on Angstrom, but the same techniques can be applied to any distro. Ubuntu by default uses Upstart rather than using SysVInit.
