A) Is that a boot to command-line or to GUI. Boot-up to GUI with KDE in 60 seconds is good. KDE is huge.
B) Which GUI are you running?
C) Much depends on the hd capabilities $>:/ hdparm -I /dev/hda |less
Setting hdparm is one of those things you have to write down on a scratch-pad and really investigate. There are a lot of variables which can be improperly set. Don't just read Man and info; go out on the net and read other people's notes on using the command. You don't want to cut and paste, you need to understand the command an its switches. Then, you need to investigate the proper place to put the script for the boot-up for your distro.
The actual IDE chipset and PCI bridge can make a difference as well. But this is more an issue on older chipsets.
