As for boot times, I've heard that Ubuntu Netbook Remix boots very fast, but I've never used it. Comparing regular Ubuntu (with GNOME) to the Windows 7 release candidate dual booting on the same machine, Ubuntu booted faster, but only by a couple of seconds. (I never timed them, however.) I did use Lubuntu (the LXDE version of Ubuntu) for awhile thought and it was wicked fast booting. (I ended up switching back to regular GNOME though just because I thought fonts were crisper/cleaner/easier to read on GNOME, no doubt due to its anti-aliasing features.)
