Note that some of these dependencies are not used by systemd itself, only by some of its helpers.

Of more interest is the main memory which systemd-as-PID-1 actually uses. That boils down to 2.8MB on my system, vs. 0.8MB for sysvinit. Compared with its long list of features, that's not bad at all.
