On some HDD only 4800 rpm laptops rebooting Windows or Linux takes up to 2 minutes. Finding a PID is much faster (or using Windows Task thing equivalent) Most Linux have a System Monitor GUI accessible from Places/Menu/Startbar. Takes me about 15s to find a process on Windows or Linux.
Also it's not just the reboot time, but time to reopen programs, email, browser and load documents.

Also how would you know in advance a reboot would fix it? It doesn't fix most problems (e.g. Antivirus settings on Windows or a wrong config edit on Linux).
