I remember computers used to take sooo long to start up, that you can press the power button and go make yourself a sandwich. What changed? Hardware got faster obviously, but software also got more complicated and there are more of them to load up no?
In: Technology
Nonvolatile RAM memory is another big reason. Meaning it can now save it’s last state when you power down instead of having to reload dll’s and misc drivers everytime you power up. ASICs technology is better and faster as well.
Edit: It’s another really good reason to use the power down command instead of just turning it off in the middle of running/loading a program.
