They have a lot of manpower and can spend a lot of time replacing the boot  
subsystems and all startup scripts every 2 releases. For FreeBSD it's not  
a big issue as most people don't reboot often. If it's an itch you want to  
scratch you're more than welcome to look into it; that seems to be the way  
a lot of little things get worked on around here.

Unfortunately the new systemd rc system (which is pretty awful) has issues  
of its own including the inability to handle /usr on a separate filesystem  
under certain situations.[1]

I honestly prefer the freebsd startup system and rc.conf. Speed isn't an  
issue for me right now. It's even less obvious if you just use an SSD for  
/.
