It seems that postfix's startup time has greatly regressed, on my laptop there are very long delays both at boot: ,---- | $ systemd-analyze blame | head -n1 | 33.340s [email protected] `---- as well when restarting postfix: ,---- | $ time sudo systemctl restart postfix.service | sudo systemctl restart postfix.service 0,06s user 0,03s system 0% cpu 38,611 total `---- Clearly something fishy is going on here.
