The 45 second number if probably marketing. I'm not sure how to translate that into reality. I wouldn't be surprised if older units took a lot longer. >If we accept 45s, is that shorter than the typical system boot time from >cold?

With a bit of work, you can boot in much less that 45 seconds. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
