I was consistently getting 17 second cold boots with my rMBP. I upgraded to ML today and am now getting cold boot times of 12 seconds.
Wow!
Wow!

ML boots my rMBP so much faster!

I'd hope so. Lion wasn't exactly made for rMBP, it was just adjusted later on for it. ML was probably made with the retina MBP in mind. Everything will probably keep getting better for you guys from now on
.
My rMBP was taking less than 10 seconds, by quite some margin, to boot from cold. There might be something in your startup items affecting boot times.
That's like a rodeo bronc rider.

Possibly. I do have CrashPlan, Caffeine, gfxCardStatus, Alfred, and DropBox in my Login items.
How do I find the ones starting at boot that are not part of ML?
System prefs > Asers & Groups > Click the 'Login Items' tab.
I have everything unchecked apart from the vital things such as ituneshelper.
Unchecking/checking only unhides/hides apps at launch.
To stop them loading you need to remove them from the list completely.
Guys, how many times do you reboot per day? I do it every 2 to 3 weeks
its good to reboot everyother day. refreshes everything. i turn my MBP off at night if i know i wont be using it for the next day or so between work and all. sometimes ill turn it off at 10 pm and wont come back on until 6pm or so the next day. so i turn it off.

It varies, I try not to exceed 15 times in one day.
ha...ha...ha...ha..
Ok, I'll be serious (maybe).
I removed the hard drive in my late 15" MBP, replacing it with a 512GB Samsung 830 SSD. I only reboot it once in a while, perhaps every week or so. My cold boot to the desktop time, is about 10 seconds. I say about, as I timed it, but it's normal for it to vary by a second or so. It's so fast I don't pay attention anymore.
ituneshelper isn't a vital process. It's what opens iTunes automatically when you plug in an iPod or iOS device, which is something I hate. I delete it - win win.
That's what I thought wanted to make sure. Ssd's make the world of difference. I think my next computer will be an MBA or what ever they have out then
You do realize your BIOS has to load your RAID drivers so using any RAID configurations actually slows down your boot by a second or two. A modern SSD is fast enough that two or four or ten in RAID won't make a difference for booting.
Yea, a non-RAID configuration shaves 2 seconds max during boot. But what about after boot? A RAID configuration saves butt loads more time.
