I would guess that "apt-get purge network-manager" should fix that problem nicely. It might want to also remove gnome if you had already accidently (or unwisely) installed that, and, of course, you should absolutely answer yes to doing that. Then you will get a much improved system ;-)
Haha -- "Oh no, now I have no gui, and no network connection to Google a resolution!" ;) I use Cinnamon though; really happy with it's speed and usability. Really the only reason I use NetworkManager is for the wifi - all my other interfaces are manual, and I just haven't gotten around to learning how to drive wifi any other way.
But if slow boot speed is really annoying you, forget systemd and install a solid state drive.
Oh hey absolutely; I've been SSD-only for years now, and I'm never going back!
I am lead to believe was originally the primary reason given for developing systemd!
