[systemd-devel] bootchart issues on slow hardware

[Holger Winkelmann [TP]]

You are right, hopefully systemd will not turn into a direction
where only the ulra modern notebook or desktop can use it.
we see a lot of advantages to use systemd in embedded environments.
and we are talking here about_

- 180-680 MHh MIPS, ARM CPUs
- 4-32 MB Flash
- 32-128MB RAM

at the low end. Thos devices should be able to run systemd in the
same way as other init systems.
