Check:
  $ systemctl dot
It also has some options. All of it might need some love, I guess, but
that should provide a good starting point if you want to look into it.

If you are only interested in timing data, try:
  $ systemd-analyze blame

Or want to see a 'bootchart'-like thing, try:
  $ systemd-analyze plot > sd.svg && eog sd.svg
