All models should boot in <1h, although there is no particularly good reason to boot the OS with the O3 cpu. Normally people boot linux with a atomic simple CPU, take a checkpoint and then switch to the O3 cpu to run their application of interest.
We have regression tests that run weekly using the disk images that take approximately 1h, so it seems like there is something wrong on your end.
