Fedora is known to be horribly unoptimized: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Optimizations/ http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Optimizations/ I've also noticed that the unit ordering and dependency chains can be quite flimsy and slow, occasionally freezing entirely before the display manager is started.
