I'm running an upgraded Sawtooth and boot time is about 45 seconds. Don't know if our machines are real comparable, but here is what mine has: OWC 1.6 GHz CPU 1 GB Ram DVD R/RW DL Iogear 4 port USB2 PCI card 60 & 80 GB IDE HD's on the internal bus A SCSI adapter of some sort... don't remember which.
