The system boots from a cold start faster than 10.1.4, but still not what I'd call "fast".

Why do people (it seems particularly prevalent in Mac users) have this obsession with boot times ? I can understand why back in the days of MacOS Classic and regular reboots why it would have been an issue, but why are people rebooting their OS X boxes often enough for it to be of anything more than curiosity value ? Is it just an "old habits die hard" thing causing you to reboot so often ?
