Our bottle neck is often pid 1 for boot time. We don't do mem check on boot so that saves us 1 second * Gb_of_RAM in boot, which is why most BIOS take forever on a server. We also don't run anything in PCI slots so we have the PCI checker disabled too (all our servers are Dells they have some software you can license to config the BIOS). I'm new to the game, I only vaguely remember a time when Ubuntu wasn't on systemd. I don't have 30 years of experience with any init system, but I do have 10+ years with systemd. I didn't use another init until I got this job and had to learn sysv. So I'm coming from the exact opposite, it sounds like, place of you. To me, everything you said is 100% true, but about sysv and its line. I also don't provision too many servers these days because with the exception of a few things that were deemed "to important" all our servers have automated build scripts to go from 0 to prod.
