Really? On my laptop, boot time is [...]

expand to about 10 seconds. How much will systemd speed that up? Maybe the
problem is all the junk the commercial distos add to the boot sequence.
My thoughts exactly! I'm already at a handful of seconds with OpenRC (on
Funtoo), I don't expect to increase that time once my shiny new LFS will
be ready. I honestly have zero interest in accelerate the boot, and I
can't see where "massively" could fit.
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.
Shutdown can be sped up with a setting in rc.site.
#Delay between TERM and KILL signals at shutdown
#KILLDELAY=3
Try setting to 0.
