Both my Mac and custom built PC boot very quickly. Faster than my PCs in the past. I'm not even doing anything special, just grabbing a generic motherboard, NVMe drive, and installing Windows.
Powering off is a rare event, though. Sleep functionality has been rock solid in both OS X and Windows 10 for me in recent times.
