Well, I have a machine running entirely from SSDs (two 32GB PATA Samsungs, /boot is mirrored and the rest is striped). It still doesn't boot all that quickly (stock F-7); if someone has tests for me to run I'll be happy to try them. (Actually I'm only getting 57MB/s reads from the striped volumes, so I think there's some tuning to do as that looks like the single-drive speed.)
