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).
But you have to know it's a bum process causing the problem. That can take longer then 2 minutes because you'd try other things before trying to find a bum process. Besides, who uses 4800RPM hard drive. I thought the slow hard drives were 5400RPM.
