Instant on is the new sleep wake time of under 1 second.
Whats a crackbook? Is that power button -> desktop or just kernel -> desktop?
Got a tip for us?

Instant on is the new sleep wake time of under 1 second.

My sleep to wake time is approximately 1 second.
My boot time is timed from screen turn on at button push (bright white, no image on screen) -> desktop and firefox launched approximately 15 seconds.
Crackbook is Apple Macbook White Plastic 2,1. I call it a crackbook because the entire casing is falling to pieces.
The Air is timed from button push. Including all the black screen. But yea you are in luck then.. My MBP 15" with a Intel SSD takes 30 seconds to boot without the black screen which is almost 5 seconds for me. So the 15 would be a huge difference for me.
And the wake up for me is 4 seconds on my MBP... Yours is very good too, very unusual. I haven't seen a Mac wake that fast personally. Maybe the Pros are just slower in general...
Yeah, that's just a gimmick. The Air is no better at this than any other machine. My MBP with a rotating drive wakes up just as fast.
My point was, if the computer is sleeping (not powered off), the drive isn't actually the important factor. Rotating or SSD makes no difference, since there's nothing to load when the computer comes out of sleep; everything is already in memory.
Mine wakes up just as fast as the MBA. The MBA's advantage here is its "lower-power mode" which gives the 30 days of sleep time. That's something existing machines don't do.
Well that certainly makes sense.
I just wonder... Why the hell is mine so slow then?? And in general.. All the Macs I have had always took a few secs... I mean Windows is certainly far slower with 8-10 secs but the Macs never woke up in under 4 seconds eiher..
The under 1 second Air speed I see on some YouTube videos is just insane in comparison!!
Yea
From the point you hit the power button to the point it boots up ?
OMG, hell no!! We are talking about waking from sleep!!! And the 4 seconds that mine takes is far slower than the under 1 second an Air takes... Not a full boot up of course...
Ohhh hell then I withdraw my previous statement. I thought you meant cold boot time.
Still a funny picture though
And I already made a video with my iPhone proving that my MBP takes actually more like 6 seconds to wake up!!! It's horrible :/

By any chance did you use the disk utility to erase free space. I once did that on my SSD and everything got screwed up after
Not really, but I used to use FileVault and recently stopped doing that. But while I had FileVault on, I also had Login upon wakeup on and that actually made it even slower...
That's not good at all, something's definitely wrong. We have 2 MBP's and a white unibody macbook in the family and they are all ready to use from wake within 2 seconds and all using stock 5400rpm HDD's
Strange thing is this also happens on a brand new installation. I just tried that out a few weeks back because it was annoying... It didn't help at all so I restored my original Mac OS from Time Machine...
And I can't remember it waking up faster ever actually... Maybe it used to be at 4 secs once...
Also I have another MBP 1,1 lying around that is just as slow at waking up...
Something's definitely messed up with your system. I've never seen a MBP wake up that slowly. I'm using an Early '06 Macbook 1,1 that has an Intel X25-m g2 SSD installed, with an additional regular hard drive put in an Optibay. It takes exactly 1.6s for it to wake up and be usable.
Have you tried resetting the SMC ?

Yea... Also the PRAM, nothing is helping...
Ok I just did the SMC Reset again and I'm back to my usual 4 second wake up... I made a video of that, it's in the same album...

"Something is definitely messed up" seems a bit alarmist. We're talking about a few seconds here. This is not something to get stressed out about.
Did you guys (that are experiencing slow booting) check that you have a startup disk selected in System Preferences? It seems it's sometimes not selected at the default installation, or gets "unselected" for whatever reason. This makes the mac search for bootable devices at power on, which can take everything from 0-30 seconds it seems. Probably not the cause, but worth checking.

Was 30 seconds when I first got it, then it went to 15. Then I did a batch of updates and it went back to 30.
