The speed argument/anti-argument can be traced back to Lennart's first blog post on systemd (IIRC "rethinking pid 1") where he touted its speeding up of the boot process. The reason that's regularly brought up is that there aren't (m)any purely technical counterpoints to systemd so boot speed (and binary logs but the latter can be disabled with setting "Storage=none" in "journald.conf" and setting up a socket for syslog to store the logs) are targeted.
