Linux boots up faster for me than Windows (XP) does... Am I just different and strange or is anyone else like this?

In GRUB xp really does boot faster.

Like you know, you have to boot your system in 2 steps.
Only the 2nd boots your os (MBR).
It takes you 2.3 sec. (or more) to boot your CPU (BIOS).
That leaves you 1.7 seconds to boot XP.
That's totally impossible, even if cleant your startup(msconfig) to the minimum.
PS: Booting to fast is also bad for your os.

if my video card (nvidia) didn't show me that damn logo for so long, i could safely say the machine boots in 4 seconds or so. when I was saying 4 seconds I was meaning from the time it begins to load windows, to the time it's done.
1.7 seconds is very possible, with fast ram and hibernation. pc2700 256mb will boot fast, if i add the other 256mb stick it takes a little longer.
How is having a fast computer bad for it?

Answer the question. I'm interested, too.

on my machine...it takes about 15 seconds to be useable. that's with a 2 gig processor, 400 mhz front side bus, and 30 gigs on info on an 80 gig hard drive. I haven't tried linux yet...but with all the restarting, you do with windows..per day, that comes out to about 10 minutes worth of startup time :D
