In my tests it usually takes around 25 seconds, sometimes slightly less
sometimes slightly more.

That depends on your definition of show stopper. It won't stop me using
the machine, but it does mean I won't use it in the way that I would like
to and so limits it's use to me.

Stand-by is another one of those niggles I mentioned previously, about 1
in 5 times that I put the unit in to stand-by it crashes, causing me to
have to powered it all the way down.

Again for me it's 5+ seconds out of standby and as Sam pointed out that is
5 seconds too long for my liking.
