Actual boot is around 8 seconds.
Login is about 5 seconds (to fully operational).

Quote from: giro no The BIOS is a piece of software
But not Windows software.
I'm posting this from a MacBook; it has an Intel Extensible Firmware Interface. One might reasonably argue that firmware is also, at least in part, software.
Does this mean that discussion of (U)EFI is better suited to the Mac(/Linux) Software forum?
I would argue not; the relevant software is not MacOS related.
In the context of this thread both BIOS and UEFI are much more closely associated with the system hardware than whatever OS may be installed.
