In this video two iMacs with equal 512 MB RAM are booted at the same time. One is a 2.1 Ghz G5, one is a 2.0Ghz Intel Core Duo. The Intel is on the left, the G5 is on the right. Some users said that the G5 iMac might have a problem for booting so slowly but others say that it's a normal "first time" boot.

My Apple Cube from 2001, running at 450 Mhz boots in 40-50 seconds (don't remenber the exact time). I compared it once with other Macs.
If somebody thinks boot time is a way to compare CPU speed or general computer speed, he is quite wrong. I think the time difference probably comes from EFI.
BTW, my Amiga 1200 booted from harddrive in 15 seconds and my c64 boots in 3 seconds
