Just like on Sevenforums, please show us your restart time. Not bad for a spinner.

Here it is:

Here is my Windows 7 restart time:

Windows 8

How to find this out? I mean can anyone provide me a way to get this?

Edit: NVM I got it it was on W7 forums.

Wow does Win 8 really taking that long time to restart?

 

[windude99]

I need to try Windows 8 on my ssd on my main pc as Windows 7 is crazy fast on it and I bet Windows 8 will be even faster.

I have no startup programs.

Can anyone advise why it took so long to restart ? I see everyone's results are much lower than mine.

Been tweaking this heavily since the RTM leak and got it down to probably one of the fastest boots in the world.

This is on an OCZ Vertex4 256GB

Considering I'm running a pretty type of the line system (ASRock Z77 Extreme4, Core i5 3750, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, EVGA GT560 Ti, etc.) a 78 sec restart time seems... high.

I just upgraded a raid volume with 2 raptors from Win7 to Win 8. Slow as shite to boot or restart. Bootloader sux, I need to do some tweaking, prior to upgrade with 2 different Win 7 Raid drives it was super quick. Now with one of each, one Win 7 [2xssd] and Win8 [2xraptors] they both sux.....

Here it is:

Good old 80GB IDE Hitachi spinner.

The system:

Spare-parts 1.5GB for x64.

Worked on Win8 RP a while ago. Now back to W7.

Still runs!

This was my start time in virtual box (the clip is in real time):

Good one Wolfgang! I remember it now.
XP flies also: from 3 to 7 seconds! (depends on setup).
We should give that vbs script from SevenForums a go on a VirtualBox machine. But the video says enough I think.

My best in Win 7 was 45 seconds, Win 8 a miserable 80 seconds. That's 77% longer than Win 7, and I have a SSD. Is it because I have to go from Metro to Desktop? Very disappointed in that.

Here's mine...very strange figures.

The difference between the first and the second makes sense. Between the second and the third it does not.

On the same machine? Man what a difference!

Yeah almost same problems here, my screenshot above (somewhere) is Win7 on IDE HDD: 45 seconds. (7200rpm)
Then tested on a new UEFI laptop that's Win8 on SATA HDD: 78 seconds. (5300rpm)

Not expected at all, so there are a lot of surprises out there. I'll tweak my machine to see if scores improve.
It has to be the rpm difference, that's the only logical explanation in this case. Too many different factors: Win8 vs Win7, IDE vs SATA and 7200rpm vs 5300rpm.

Also depends of the different startup items.
But yes I'm also a bit disappointed because Win8 takes longer to clean restart, so appears. Maybe that's why they promote hybrid boot so we don't have to restart anymore since restarts got worse. Hope I'm wrong but it will have to wait for a few weeks of usage (new Win8 laptop) and startup junk-removal. If Win8 takes longer to restart after all, it seems I'm toasted without SSD.

Restart time is not a very good representation of the Operating System capabilities. It includes the BIOS time which can vary widely. On this system here the BIOS time is longer than the boot time. On my Toshiba laptop the BIOS time is practically nil. The BIOS time depends on the microprogram in the board and on the amount of gear that is in the PC and hanging off it. Measuring the time from "Starting Windows" is more telling.

I get a 5sec bios time on both machines (even reported in task manager in Win8). With that it's still 78sec total restart time that I get. Other systems have up to 20sec bios time or more!
