I don't have any suspicous strangers or hackers around my PC to worry about a password. So to clarify my best boot time, it's typically:
12 seconds from pressing power button to end of BIOS
9 seconds from end of BIOS to first sight of desktop
5 to 7 seconds from desktop until hourglass disappears
c'mon...that's not specific enough.

where's the milliseconds like commodus had?
