My PCLinuxOS system with SysVinit booted up from hitting Enter at the
GRUB menu to a character-mode console login prompt in about 50 seconds.

My Manjaro system with systemd boots up from hitting Enter at the GRUB
menu to the SDDM login screen in 10 seconds.

Now, I could be grossly wrong, but I am still firmly convinced that 10
seconds is less than 50 seconds.

Links, please?  To verifiable sources, please -- not to some "I hate
systemd" website.

Uniformity and consistency in configuration, a failsafe mechanism for
the starting and managing of daemons, faster boot times, isolation and
containerization of processes, consistency in the naming convention of
attached peripherals -- e.g. drives, network interfaces -- as well as
autodetection of the EFI partition, the root partition and the swap
partition without needing any entries in /etc/fstab on drives with a
GUID partition table, et al.

AND... unlike with SysVinit, the code is actively being maintained.
