By linear extrapolation, about 7 minutes per terabyte on an EPYC 7402, which can handle up to 4 TB.
Attempts to justify new init software by "it boots much faster" fall flat.

- wahern 7y agoOf all my Linux VMs, Alpine Linux boots the fastest--practically instantaneously. Alpine Linux doesn't use systemd. Parallel init only helps on large, multi-service systems, but those are precisely the ones that (1) rarely reboot and (2) will have relatively long boot sequences, regardless.
