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.

Testing boot time is nothing scientific and doesn't give any real results as to how fast the CPU of the machine is, like someone said in a post before, this boot time is maybe cause of EFI. And why do everybody here uses Linux distros which boot that slowly. I'm not lying here but my specs are amd athlon-xp 2000+(1.6ghz) 1GBram. Arch Linux boots in incredibly less than 12 seconds, I think is somewhere between 8-10 seconds. Even my FreeBSD boots in less than 30 seconds.
