I just downloaded and installed Raspbian Jessie Lite v2016-02-09 on my Raspberry Pi Zero. The DHCPCD process slows boot time by ~40 seconds. I do not plan to connect to the internet using my Pi. How can I disable DHCPCD / networking?

[...] A start job is running for dhcpcd on all interfaces (38sec / 1min 38sec)

I tried setting up a static IP address, but nothing changed.

sudo systemctl stop dhcpcd.service should stop dhcpcd.

It is also possible to set Raspbian to not wait for the network on boot (see raspi-config).

Disabling helped me much better. Even as the service was stopped after reboot my Pi kept performing the job. Hence,

 sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service

did the trick for me.
