Boot Up Time Slower!?

I recently upgraded my MBP to the entry level 2011 13". I just now swapped the hard drive for the 1TB Samsung Spinpoint MT2 and the bootup time is significantly slower. Why is this happening?
What RPM was the stock drive and what RPM is the 1TB?

Both are 5400rpm - It's probably mostly because you went from 2 platters to 3 (among other factors)
Edit: your 1TB also has a 12ms response time - I think most laptop hard drives are half that. You bought one of the earliest 1tb drives, I wouldn't be be surprised of it's a bit slow.
