Hmm, it=E2=80=99s hard to draw any conclusion though, because systemd can do
things concurrently, so perhaps the process startup slowness is
invisible because it=E2=80=99s able to perform other startup work while wai=
ting
for daemons.  (It also spawns fewer daemons because some of these are
subsumed by PID=C2=A01.)

Who knows!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
