Boot delay @Initrd-switch-root

I've got a 2 sec boot delay when I boot Arch linux "cold" if I reboot or shutdown my pc and boot again this not happen.

if I reboot initrd needs just 700ms

The delay seems to be longer than just 1 sek I guess 3-4 sec more boot time.

Startup finished in 5.988s (firmware) + 3.354s (loader) + 421ms (kernel) + 2.099s (initrd) + 3.317s (userspace) = 15.181s

Do you know why initrd takes so long or do you need more information.

For me it seems the journald-service is not able to shut down and the kernel needs to send a SIGTERM to kill the service. Correct me if I am wrong.
