it's really not clear to me that 'reboots in seconds' is a thing to optimize...
I suppose the win is:
"Is the startup/shutdown process clear, conscise and understandable
at 3am local time?"
followed by:
"Can I adjust my startup processes to meet my needs easily and
without finding a phd in unix?"
If systemd is simply a change in how I think about /etc/init.d/* and
/etc/rc?.d/* cool, if it's more complexity and less EASY flexibility
then it's a fail.
