this is *not* true

with foreground other services like clamav-milter are stated instantly,
while with forking they are started after clamd has finished to load
signatures

the difference is when services really depend one on another like in
this cases with forking (unless the service supports systemd native with
type=notify) you have errors with a brainedead --foreground
