My Startup and Shut Down times for Snow Leopard

[macblog]

I have a new 09' 20" iMac Core Duo 2.66 with Snow Leopard.

Shut Down: = 7 Seconds. Tried 4 times, same result.
Start Up: 42-44 seconds to Login Screen
Login To Desktop fully loaded: = 6 Seconds

I am not impressed by the Start up or Login. I believe I clocked Leopard at the exact same speeds.

Overall I am not noticing much difference in anything.

I'm not sure how everyone counts startup times. I do it from the time the spinner starts moving on the gray screen...

Mid 2007 MacBookPro, Santa Rosa Chipset, 2.4GHz Core2Duo w/4GB RAM...

Snow Leopard:
Startup, straight to desktop: 23 sec.
Shutdown: 2-3 sec.

Leopard:
Startup, straight to desktop: just over 50 secs.
Shutdown: 10-12 sec.

Now I just need to pop in a 7200 RPM 500GB drive and I will be cruising along with my outdated MBP!
