Perhaps you misunderstood. I want to know why booting fast is bad for my computer.

I really don't know.
I only know it's bad for u're OS (XP).(please don't change my words... :( )
I will never believe u're able to boot xp from a cold state in 4 seconds. Still it is possible to do this below 10 sec. To do this u prob. first cleared your bootloader.
After this most peeps use something like bootvis. U can do this on every PC.
PROBLEMS:
*Not every proces in XP is capable for following this too fast speed: in those cases your system will most likely freeze.
*When booting, u're system has to find more than one place on your drive. If u go to fast your hardware can't follow, damaging your file structure (Boot.ini).
*Placing new hardware will get very difficult.
*XP caches system changes (even msconfig). If u boot to fast it can lose these, giving u the "unmountable_boot_volume" error (or freeze)
I know my english s*cks, u'll find more and better explannations here: www.annoyances.org

I never had it take more than 10 seconds.

All that stuff happens eventually anyways.
I dont really use windows much, but whenever it's installed for more than a week it always starts doing crap like that. I thought it was supposed to be a few months, so that I can upgrade to the newest version of windows and, of course, not have the problems (why do people do that anyways?). I guess booting isn't the only thing i'm doing faster than normal.
I use RedHat 9 and am working on freebsd, it's a little complicated to get the gui working.
