Since my windows reinstall and getting rid of norton, things seem to be quicker starting up, but if I play a RAM intensive application like a game it seems to delay the shutdown (must be sorting out the swapfile). Is there a difference if you shut down straight after boot.

Also in a earlier version of itunes was a cd burning driver that would cause shutdowns to hang for a good 10 secs. This problem was fixed a while ago but it's reason to check each running task to see if any of those are responsible.
