Here you can state how long the DP takes to start up for you (including posting). State your host OS, DP start-up time and whether you are using an SSD or HDD.

e.g.

Win XP 32
47 seconds
7200RPM HDD

12s from windows startup screen to login screen. It only takes a second or 2 to login and I can essentially begin using the computer almost immediately.

- AMD Phenom 1090t@3.7ghz
- 8 gigs DDR2-800 RAM
- Intel X-25M G2 80GB SSD
- OS is Windows 7 x64

Edited: I forgot to mention that the SSD is a G2 (34nm)

I just realized that you wanted the times including POST, whoops haha. 33s cold start to Windows login screen. So that puts my startup, BIOS splash screen, POST, etc. at 21s.

I think it is more informative to include times for a cold start and windows start to see how long the average POST takes
