Yeah I know, I had Windows on my Raptor before and it wasnt any faster. I just use it to install my games on.

Know of any ways to tweak startup time?

thats not to say HDD is'nt important. Those running xp from static flash cards will testify to this
 
55 seconds from the moment I press the power switch to the desktop showing, all startup items loaded, and the hard drive light stops flashing. If you're talking from the POST beep onward, that's 45 seconds.
I used to take a full two minutes and thirty seconds, but that was before I ran Bootvis.

I have never timed it but i would say 50-60 seconds, from the time i press the on button until i can actually use the computer and start a program
 
You guys are unfair... on my family rig, i have four profiles... and on my Celery rig, its just damn slow. So my best time is prob a minute fifty or so.
 
About 50s from power on to everything on taskbar loaded.
XP bar makes about 6 passes.
 
20 seconds usually, including the 5 second bios screen.

that's from power on to when the desktop appears.

it's completely done loading 10-20 seconds after that, since i have no autostart apps whatsoever

sometimes i get the good old windows xp blank black screen hang, tho, and if that happens, there's a 50/50 shot that it will start after a minute or so, or it will never go to the desktop, and i'll have to do a hard restart.
