Forgotten to say: the main features are parallelization and advanced xinetd 
right in init program. So you don't need to waste you CPU & memory for sshd, 
smbd, nmbd, cupsd unless someone tries to talk to these daemons.

Systemd allocates all needed sockets and TCP/UDP ports and starts most 
services at the same time passing sockets to the daemons.
