On a Gen 2 Paperwhite, it takes about 11 seconds for the screen to blank and the device to power down (Amazon says 7-15 seconds). After the shutdown, I hit the power button and the image of the child and tree appears. About 2-3 seconds after that, the progress bar appears. It is not instantaneous. Heck, even if you hit restart on the cancel/restart/screen off, it's not instantaneous and that is the same boot process. And note that screen off is not power off.

Any explanations as to why you see "no noticeable delay" and I see the power on boot progress bar?
