So, I did some profiling, and it is consistently measurably, if not
significantly, faster (16 sec vs 18 for init). I suspect that it's something
to do with how init kills processes at the end.
Was there any progress on the front of tagging services which need
explicit shutdown, and just kill -9 the rest?
