L-o-n-g delay for rc.local in systemd on Ubuntu.

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Hey, all.  I've got some stuff in my rc.local, and it takes *forever* to 
execute -- three+ minutes.  (Note that the machine -- a virtual one -- 
is up in something like 20 seconds.)  I *need* this stuff, which is 
lightweight in the extreme, to execute much more quickly than that.  
Anyone have any ideas on how to make that happen?

Thanks,

-Ken
