    Systemd was created to allow parallel initialization, which other init systems lacked. If you want proof that one processor core is slower than one + n, you don’t need to compare init systems to do that.

      I’ve never heard of that. I only heard that other init systems usually have better performance. And well even if it’s not the case, security is another massive concern
