Power up is faster than XP and much faster from hibernation which is how I tend to run it (although it's frustratingly slow to create the hibernation file, takes about 30 seconds) ... sure I could leave it on all day like Linux aficionado's seem to but I prefer to be environmentally friendly which is why I go for hibernate and them physical (wall plug) switch off. One nice thing about that is I switch the wall plug on and, in hibernate mode, the system just comes on so about 20 seconds after BIOS I'm hitting CTRL/ALT/DEL and 5 seconds or so after that I'm at the desktop.
True power up takes longer (maybe 30 seconds after BIOS to CTRL/ALT/DEL) but getting to the desktop is almost as quick once I've put my password in.
I've probably been too generous with those estimates so I'll try and do some timings later today and post them up.
