'Its also about the processes running at startups. You may have systemMine boots reasonably fast but then I wait while AVG does an update, etc.
booting at a fast speed but it may not take long, you even failed to
mention
any security programs in your system if here is any, which others says
cause
a lot baggage.

Little survey here--and if you have fast times, please mention your
mobo
and
processor.
I get 22 seconds on a six-year old Intel PBZ with a P4 3.0, Raid 0.
A networked, but stripped down XP (minimal services except for virus).
I think that's good but I'm sure newer machines will beat it easily...
interested to hear yours--no cheating! (shopping for a mobo)
Getting to the point where a machine can boot so fast requires
stripping
down to the point where all one has is an operating system. I have
never
seen much point in doing this. I favour usability over raw speed..
You can in fact strip excessively, I agree, but I run the entire Adobe
suite,
Photoshop & Premiere, Illustrator, etc., use a video capture PCI card,
messes o' fonts, Dreamweaver and web everything. Also, the wonderful DVD
Flick (gotta plug this open source app!), which takes AVI files and cooks
them into a DVD while keeping a/v in synch. (that's where I'd like to
retire
the ol' P4 into something quad-like).
In addition, I use Cerebrus as an FTP server to mozy huge files back and
forth on the network plus SLING the TV on it in a TV window (olympics).
Trying to make a case for it's usability!
I think everything works smoother when you pimp-slap some of the services
from XP...
Was hoping to hear about some insane boot times from quad-core people...
