I'm not super familiar with RP, what is the typical boot time?

  It depends on who you ask, but usually it's more than 10 seconds, which is too much if you want to embed it into a device that must have an "instantly on" experience. Even the 4 seconds mentioned by the sibling commenter would be too much (e.g. if a page load of 4 seconds is considered "long", then turning on a device should be shorter as well).

    I very much doubt another OS on the Pi is going to save you then. (and what the best solution is depends very much on your actual use case and problem)

  hardware/bootloader stage take around ~2s. After that it's on the OS, a stripped down Linux can get down to also ~2s on top of that if you don't need all the hardware. The more IO you need ready, the longer it takes.

    depends on the version of the bootloader and board too. it varies a LOT and often times will sit for over 5 seconds before even starting linux
