I am taking guesses here but I suspect this boot performance may be relative. AFAIK SMF does not restrict the extent of concurrency. So if there are 100 non-interdependent services ready to be started at the current graph state then it will start all 100 concurrently. This might be good for multi-way big-iron boxes but can be at the diminishing returns point for smaller workstations and laptops where there is neither the disk/memory bandwidth and nor the core-count to handle such a load. In this case a feature to have a graceful reduction in concurrency level in SMF should help.
