Several instances. I run SUSE on a laptop that sometimes needs to be rebooted into another operating system. The additional wait for SUSE to shut down is annoying. (It is not always possible to do a software suspend because there is a shared partition.) This other OS manages to shut itself down cleanly in about 5 seconds. SUSE takes nearer 20.
