And all this after I tweaked it for the fastest possible performance. Still slower than molasses in wintertime!
Prob your OS slowing it down. I've seen plenty of atom netbooks fly when tweaked properly. I installed jolicloud on a friends asus 1005 and it gets a 13 second boot. Even my old asus 700 running the celeron processor gets a 26 second boot with ubuntu.
