I would think that the speed with which a system starts up / shuts down 
would be dependent upon what the machine was built to do. If you've got 
a computer that's being used in a corporate environment, it might make 
it more efficient, help the "core values" of the business and just be a 
machine easier to administer if it's got a quick startup/shutdown time. 
On the other hand if its just for personal use, and depending on if 
you're running some application that is critical to you, then the times 
might not be as important as actually having the applications and the 
programs on the computer working. Just my 2 cents.
