[PD] Startup times to run Pd patch on Raspberry Pi

[Giulio Moro]

Never used one, but you can try tweaking the "After" or "Requires" parameter in the systemd script. On Bela, this commit cut down the power-to-sound time from 18 to 10 seconds (and there's room for improvement):
https://github.com/BelaPlatform/bela-image-builder/commit/a85b82b526f3529523b9b67a706ff2cda47539c4#diff-606dc24f4e7da91386681db20c65038b

(note that the comments in modules.conf that I added in that commit shouldn't be there, because they actually make the whole line invalid!)
