Since it is the same hardware, do you have any idea what is causing this delay? How can I decrease the time without having to make a clear install?

Vista on the same HD takes about 2 - 3 minutes.

OS X usually gets quicker the first several times you boot as it learns what you need and what you don't. If it's longer than 30 or 40 seconds it's probably because it's stalled momentarily looking for or not finding things it thinks it should have (looking for hardware not there? hardware that's not initializing properly?) Has anything changed?

10.5.4 continues to boot in about 25-30 seconds on my 780G / Athlon64 X2 install. Vista Home Premium x64 (64-bit) boots in 30-35 seconds on the same machine (Vista is NOT on the same HD as my OSx86 install)...
