That seems weird. My PC is rather slow for a dev machine (+ a few lowkey games): i3 @ 3.3GHz, 16GB DDR3 RAM, GTX 550 TI, Samsung SSD 830 for the OS. Windows 8.1 Professional. I just took some non-exact measurement (stopwatch) from pressing the power button:

26s to login screen, another 13s from pressing enter after login to having Chrome show me a useable Outlook Web Access.

And I haven't performance optimized anything. Steam, 2 VPN clients, Trillian and Directory Opus all load on login.
