I get 28s boot-time on an 800MHz Powerbook w/640M RAM and a 5400rpm disk. "10s" for a new(ish) desktop machine with more memory and a decent disk sounds about right, give or take. Especially if Apple have been building for x86 for the last eleventy frillion years, and, one would hope, have been able to optimize things a bit.
I'm meant to be, what, about this "news"? Surprised or something? This would be newsworthy if it mentioned '80286' and '640M' somewhere. Or OS X 10.9...

Omniweb for OSX does this. Plus a whole bunch more (per-site preferences? very nice...)
