MBP 39 seconds boot-up?

I've just timed the boot-up time of my MBP and it was 39 seconds and quite concerned...
it is a 15" early 2011, 2GHz, 8GB 1333 with 500GB HD
Is this a reasonable amount time to boot-up?
ya mine about 35-40 seconds, now if you had a SSD hard drive it should be around 15-20
I've noticed that my MBP (2011 - 2.3 GHz i7, 8Gb, Hi-res, AG) takes about this time to boot up with Lion, perhaps 10 seconds longer than it did in the very brief period (1 week) I used in with Snow Leopard. Comparing this to Windows PCs, it's still a dream. to use.
My mid-2009 13" booted up with a Momentus XT with Snow Leopard in about 15 seconds, once I installed Lion it went up to 24. My Intel 320 really doesn't have much better boot times than the XT though, it's like 19-20 seconds with Lion. IIRC, even with the stock HDD Leopard booted up in 30-40 seconds.
I highly recommend the XT, for the price the faster boot time and app launch time is well worth it, but the HDD portions is a little on the slow side.

Those 5400RPM Hard Drives suck!
I can't believe Apple even messes with them. It really slows down your system.
