Probably 8.001 seconds.
I'm not getting all the hoopla over instaboot and people spending countless hours either trying to have instant on or bricking their machines in the process of doing it then blaming it on ASUS.
If you are to the login screen in less than 30 seconds you are at 1000% improvement over WinXP and a 5400rpm spinner. One thing to note, if you leave it be and quit screwing around with everything it actually does get faster over time.
There are lots of tweaks that are used for folks genuinely having slow boots, when I say slow Im talking a minute or more. You can first trim out start up items. I do this anyhow as I dont need Nvidia update running in the background or M$ one drive. etc. I remove what I dont need everything you remove is one less thing to load. Also in services if you have some that are unnecessary you can disable them, this one is tricky though because if you disable the wrong ones things wont work. Aside from disabling you can right click on slow loading servies and do a delayed start but WTF good is that? Just so you can get to the login screen 300mS faster? It still has to load and will leave you looking at the wait symbol on your desktop.
My recommendation is if its not broke, don't mess with it other than thinning out unnecessary start up items as too many things running in the background hurts performance.
Mine is pretty fast on the boot but nowhere near 8 seconds, more like 15.

Ive had no issues with a complete shut down with fast start enabled or disabled. Do it every single time. I don't do sleep or hibernate, a bit pointless when you can boot in 15 seconds. They are set to never in the power profile as is everything except I do let the power profile turn the display off after 15 mins. All SSDs in my machines so no point in turning the power off there, its actually counter productive. Hibernate and sleep were good back in the day of the guaranteed 2 min boot times on 5400 rpm spinners.
