PC restart time just over a minute.

I got mine (first generation of intel dual core chip...can't remember what speed, 1gb ram) to about 45 seconds with a completely clean install. A few months on though, it's slowed down, and theres nothing additional running on startup, in the background, ran a defrag, etc.

Windows does just seem to slow down over time.
A wipe and reload would *probably* speed it up. But who can be bothered with that to save 20 seconds once-a-day? I certainly couldn't.
