I did a fresh install of fedora in a VM given 4 cores, 16gb ram, and storage on an NVME SSD. Finally I am getting a reasonable boot time of 6.5 seconds. But on bare metal I can't get anywhere close to that. Firmware alone takes 15 seconds. Either way, now I know that it isn't a "Systemd problem", just that only Systemd gives me this problem.

    If you actually want to fuss with it you could always try some of the stuff from the Holy Wiki and see if it makes a difference. Sometimes it's just "gremlins" though.

    I ironically had a similar issue with moving to Wayland from X. I did everything I saw documented to make it work and it just either flat out didn't, or performance was ass. Then I think when I had read about Gnome's future plans to drop X I figured I needed to give it another go. In the end I'm not sure what made the difference (update/config/etc.), but I'm using Wayland now and performance seems the same/better and all is good. My install is also probably close to a decade old (or more - I have moved it between at least 3 disks) at this point so I also have cruft out the ass lol.

    Edit - Got curious and decided to look and this install is dated 2013-02-24, so longer than I thought.
