I boot in around 40 sec to gdm on a (new) laptop.

And I haven't seen such a slow boot with Ubuntu either, neither version.
In fact, all my Ubuntus have always booted faster than my Windowses.

By the way, after logging into Windows, it takes ca. 1.5 minutes until
it has finished starting stuff and is fully functional. I have tested
this on a range of machines for work reasons.

You need more than 2 secs to launch FF in Ubuntu?
