The only time I see a small difference (in the absolute, not relative, sense) is during shutdown, if there are many bootscripts stopping daemons. But this difference is so small that it is not at all a valuable reason for moving to systemd. I believe the time to learn, modify build scripts, replace them by units, debug, etc, is much longer than all the shutdown advantages of systemd added together. And a package designed just to make these jobs stop in parallel would be incomparably simpler than systemd, I believe. -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
