Fast boots also matter for embedded systems.
We integrate a series of Linux-based boxes made by another company into
our system, and one of them reboots in about 9 seconds, while the other
version takes about a minute. The latter are a pain to code for, since
it means you have to have timeouts that can cope with a device going MIA
for over a full minute before they can be talked to again.
