My Asus m/b's Phoenix BIOS takes 20 seconds before Win7.64 even starts to load on my XP/7 dual boot setup with 3.4GHz overclocked E7300 and Samsung F1 system hard drive. From then it's 30+ seconds to load everything up like Kaspersky IS and get network access, it seems to vary. Some defrag programs stretch this out to 60 seconds easy (plus the 20 secs BIOS) after they've "optimised" the system LOL, the best optimisation I've found is 7's own for bootup times, Microsoft's xbootmgr can get Win7 into it's 'as it should be' state in half hour or so, rather than waiting for Windows to do it over a period.

A fresh install with no AV software etc is quick, about 15 seconds (after my slow BIOS of course).

This script http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1828618/Restart-Time.vbs gives you a standardized startup-time in windows. I get around 100-120 seconds.

That script is for a total restart time, as opposed to a start. I repeatedly get 60 seconds using that, and that includes my slow BIOS (see above post).
