if you boot linux directly from efi (no bootloader), remove plymouth, and tweak your cmdline and mkinitcpio a bit, you'll shave a massive bulk off a mainline distro's boot time. boot to a lighter-weight login manager (or just getty) to save the rest. i bet you could get sub-second cold-boot time on that desktop, not counting the firmware stage.
