Specifically on this topic, I've noticed that the latest Ubuntu (which I
setup on an old laptop for someone else) boots up REALLY fast, faster
than Arch on this newer, more capable machine.

I've not really put much effort into streamlining boot, but just to
mention that whatever they've done with Upstart, it does bring boot
times down.
