I did notice this in Lars post:
Desktop:
Startup finished in 2016ms (kernel) + 3615ms (initramfs) + 31713ms
(userspace) = 37344ms
Worst offender: 9455ms NetworkManager.service

I had issues with NM when I first installed F15, it was trying every
automatically created wireless connection (i.e. all those
auto-ifcfg_APNAME entries) on startup and boot progressed when systemd
eventually gave up waiting on NM to finish. Might be worth Lars
checking what connections he has configured.

This trick from Lennart's article might be useful:
$ systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg
$ eog plot.svg

(For instance I have to figure out why netfs and iscsi are being
started on my machine.)

Overall speed, I did a RAM upgrade to my machine yesterday and noticed
I didn't have RAM running dual channel, turning that on seemed to make
a big improvement to startup speed, will have to time it when I get a
chance and see if it's real.
