It isn't about "average" times - it is about the psychological effect.
Users hate waiting for computers. But they *do* accept *some* waiting
at boot - up to a certain amount. So just showing them a desktop - even
if there wasn't much that could be done yet.
There is nothing I hate more about Windows than not being able to
start stuff because the desktop is there before the OS has finished
booting.
With Linux - I can see it hasn't finished booting and refill my
coffee or something - and when the login prompt is there, I can login
and stuff works.
100 % my opinion :-)
