Are you timing from just after the BIOS test? On a fresh
desktop-configuration install of Fedora 10 beta I'm getting less than
30 seconds; Fedora and Ubuntu tend to be in the 40-seconds range in
the average case (Ubuntu being a bit faster because their upstart
scripts are more optimized).
A good thing coming out from that demo is that now that a 5-sec boot
is shown to be doable, we could hopefully get 10-sec boots from a
general-purpose set-up within a release or two, from the major desktop
distros.
