Chromebook fast boot doesn't seem that fast...

Years ago, I saw BeOS boot up in 15 seconds. Lately I've installed an SSD on my Core i3 laptop and have Ubuntu Natty boot up in seconds. Each of these are full fledged OS's. Keeping that in mind the chromebook's boot up speed doesn't seem that fast to me. Anyone else feel that way? I think 7 seconds is 5 seconds too much!
