Does it do this for all sockets? It makes sense for syslog, but I don't think you can do it with file descriptors.

for other socket activation, systemd doesn't do anything with the data, it just hopes that the kernel buffers are large enough that the sender doesn't block too long while it starts up the daemon that will actually process the data.

This works fairly well when the thing being activated either isn't too complex, or is doing a complex enough task that the added delay on the first use doesn't add too much to the time (printing for example)
