Just one. systemd is a bit larger. So it will increase the boot time if your 
platform is I/O limited (many embedded systems are).

The good thing I noticed is that it shuts down a lot faster than initscripts. 
(I don't understand why I can boot my system in 2 seconds, but shutdown takes 
over 5 seconds...)


Kind regards,
