Umm... OK.  Ubuntu takes about three and a half minutes to boot; XP Pro
takes about one.  Startup time for Firefox is also about three times
longer on Ubuntu than XP.  A lot of people have experienced similar.  In
fact, a couple months ago there was a long thread about reducing boot
time and why XP's is so much faster.
