Boot times may fluctuate, because some processes behave differently across different boots. @firewire: how did additional boots look like? Closer to 1.2m or to 2.1m?
"System" is a core Windows process that hosts other Windows core sub-systems and processes, so it obviously cannot be removed from boot, and its behavior is not 100% repetitive in consecutive boots.
Sorry I can't be more helpful on that point. Soluto's first feature gives you visibility into the boot process and allows you to make changes in it, but the boot process is still a heavily statistical process with components that behave stochastically.
