It seems unreasonable because I have never seen a machine run this fast. I'm running an SSD drive and don't get this type of performance. Even the guys with SSD drives on this forum in the Reboot Time thread aren't showing startup times in under 15 seconds.
This is the result of my machine booting from an SSD drive (Intel X25-M Gen 2 80GB)
So, After POST (which takes about 20 seconds on my machine), it's 16 seconds to the logon screen. My password is fairly complex...thus the additional time after logon to hit the actual desktop. That's running on a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R mobo, with an Intel Quad Core Q9550 overclocked to 3.2Ghz, with 8GB of G.Skill DDR2 800 RAM with 4-4-4-12 timings and the Intel X25-M Gen 2 SSD drive. So, clearly I don't have a terrible box with a super fast drive.
Edit : Here was the story talking about the 11 second boot times....http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-W...e-122111.shtml
And another article from Technet forums where user describes getting to 14 seconds with an SSD Drive

Decent discussion on Intel SSD forum discussing boot times;

So, as you can see, if you are getting boots in less than 4 seconds...you are 3x to 4x faster than any of these other people.
