Off an SSD. The reviewer managed 22 seconds off a hard drive.

Wow, that's fast.

I can only manage 30 seconds here (well, a little sooner but it's not
completely responsive until around 30), HP Mini 5101, Windows 7.

How much better? Note from the boot chart that the Linux SSD system had a
login prompt (getty) in 3 seconds.
