Wow 5 minutes?!
I don't think I'd be pushing it if I said that seems really slow. :S
On such a fast machine I'd be irritated if it took over a minute to boot. On my
3Ghz Athlon X2 w/ 2Gb RAM, DragonFly boots vkernels, hosting services, and Gnome
in about a minute with my two 500Gb hammer drives.
One minute 45 seconds into Xfce4 for a VIA C7 @ 1.5 GHz, 2 GB DDR-533, 
all-hammerfs on 2 natacontrol RAID1 'antique' 60 GB PATA UDMA 100 HDD.

One minute 4 seconds into Xfce4 for an Intel T2130 @ 1.86 GHz 2 GB ?RAM, 
1 X 120 GB 2.5" HDD, DFLY on 33 GB ad0s1, UFS2 with one hammer partition.

RIADz looks to be the wall-time hog....
