I might point out that many people keep a lot of programs active--for
instance, a development IDE, several browser windows, debugger, chat
server, maybe word processor, etc.  For them, it's certainly a lot faster
to restore from a standby or hibernation state with all these programs
already loaded, active, and positioned than to reboot, then open
all their applications.

The upshot?  Everyone uses their machine differently.  What's slow for you
isn't for them.
