I timed my brand new rMBP and it took 40 seconds to restart and get all the way back up to the desktop.

My 2009 13" MBP that I put in a SSD took only 22 seconds.

Why does this MBP take so much longer?

Check to see what you've got automatically launching at startup.
 
what takes the longest time for me is the "shutdown" process, the reboot itself is quick.. funny how it takes longer time to close down everything than to boot up :rolleyes:

Actually mine boots in around 15 secs, takes forever to shutdown. I don't get it
 
It's kind of random for me. Most of the time when I shutdown or restart it takes awhile and I get the loading grey screen. Sometimes when my computer wakes up from sleep and I click shutdown nothing will happen and maybe 15 seconds later it will finally go to the screen and shutdown. I think it's software based. It's not really a big deal but when my computer does start up, it's freaking fast haha.

I have 2012 mbp with an SSD and HDD btw.
 
Mine probably takes around 40 sec.

20 sec to shutdown (10.8.3 should fix that) and 15 sec to boot.

I agree a full restart takes stupid long for a SSD because the shutdown time is brutally long.

I guess that's normal, you'll just have to wait for 10.8.3 unfortunately.

Cue the apologists about to tell everyone that shutting down/rebooting your machines is wrong. You're suppose to use the "sleep" feature.
 
40 seconds to do a full reboot and back working again and you're complaining?
