If the kernel itself is taking more time to boot than the entire system 
used to in the past, it seems silly to blame systemd for that.

(And wtf is going on to make the kernel take 26s to hand off to userspace?)

Anectdotally, Fedora 24 on a high-end P700 workstation I have at the 
office booted noticably faster from spinning rust than CentOS6 did from 
an SSD in the same system, despite having more to start up.

You can drill down deeper into that to see where the time is actually 
spent.

network.target on my main server took 22 seconds to start on its last 
boot.  It's also a fully static setup, but that time includes *every* 
network-facing service.  Mailman accounted for a ludicrous 10s of that.
