Yes, my desktop usually boots in around 10 seconds. Or at least feels like 10 seconds; no more. In fact it takes more time for it to wake than to boot from full power off, albeit that says more about Linux sleep/wake support than anything else. But my point is that, for most of the time, I just leave it on. It consumes almost the same power sleeping that fully on, at idle.
