Ubuntu vs XP Reboot Time
August 15th, 2009
I’ve just measured full reboot times with Ubuntu and Windows XP on the same machine.
Bonus: reboot times with Ubuntu Jaunty on Asus UL20A laptop (its BIOS is extremely fast too).
Ubuntu XP | Ubuntu ASUS UL20A ----------------------------------------------|------------------- boot from BIOS until login 26 s 29 s | 17s boot from login until ready 16 s 39 s | 15s reboot until BIOS 19 s 35 s | 12s ----------------------------------------------|------------------- overall reboot without BIOS 63 s 103 s | 44s
No comment.
