Yes, the software is a huge, bloated piece of crap. But it is also unmistakably capable of faster boot times when services are started properly in parallel. That's assuming a few things (like that your services are not hugely inter-dependent or that a couple [like, maybe DHCP, depending on your server] just take stupidly long to start up). For all its faults, being incapabel of giving you a boot time advantage is _not_ one of them.
