Boot time sound about right?

Hello,

Currently running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and my boot time is 22 Seconds. I'm a little obsessed about boot time and want to shave 5 seconds off

Motherboard = MSI Z97 Gaming 3
CPU = i7 4790k at stock speeds
RAM = Corsair Vengence 1x8GB 1600Mhz
SSD = Samsung EVO 840 250GB

after a fresh install I can't seem to get it below 22 seconds.

Any ideas? or is this about right for this system on win7? (I'm aware on win8 it would be a lot quicker, but not changing till win10 is good to go)

Thanks in advance and any advice is welcome.

Mine about 20secs from when you press the power button, but the POST takes a good 5-10 secs.

Not to sound harsh but you've probably wasted more time thinking about ways to make your system boot 5 seconds faster than you'd ever actually 'gain' from your system booting 5 seconds faster.

It seems pretty quick to me.

This is mine from a while back, about 20-odd seconds.

Windows 8 is miles faster.
