  I guess the obvious question would be .. does it require any
 changes to the init.d scripts themselves to gain this speedup?

  Or is the asynchronous nature sufficient to boost startup
 performance?

  If that is the case that'd be great - but I'd be initially
 suspicious unless it could ensure the correct ordering such
 that network access is available before servers start, etc.
