So, is this the actual-system time, or the best you can do?
I have loads of hardware, mapped drives, USB-attached drives that need to spin up, etc. I assume it's the latter, since minus the BIOS POST (from the OS load menu to desktop) I get 12 seconds if I dismount attached and network drives (almost clean OS). As-is, I load in about 30 seconds and shut down in about 5 or so. (SSDs in RAID0)
However, I lose some 30 seconds in BIOS POST since I have two RAIDs. Also, due to memory overclock, sometimes the machine needs to power cycle to get the DIMMS to actually work.
Un-altered startups, Dual boot and logon, So not bad....

My desktop and laptop both startup Win7 noticeable faster than Vista
