Many computers are booted very rarely, once a day or so, and then
sit idle for very long periods of time. This is very wasteful. The
reason people do this is because booting takes a long time compared to
starting the set of applications they use. 

If you could boot and start applications in say, 1/2 second, usage
patterns would be completely different.
