      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

          I mean, sysvinit was just a bunch of root-executed bash scripts. I’m not sure if systemd is really much worse.
