8 Mine is about 20 seconds (starting after grub, once Tux appears). I
9 have 5 hard drives including RAID, and wifi, so this surely adds a
10 couple seconds to the boot time. I have Core 2 E6600 overclocked to
11 3GHz, 8 gigs ram, 5400 rpm SATA hard drives. I haven't done anything
12 special. And I am using rc_parallel="NO" in my rc.conf
