Bob,
You asked me to time the boot/start-up delay of my Garmin 430W. Here's what I found.
The short answer is 1 min 13 seconds to re-start.
Here's the scenario:
1. After the 430 initialized, I dialed-in Clearance Delivery & got my clearance.
2. Entered my flight plan & saved.
3. Started engine & 430 re-booted - it came back to the Nav screen in 1 min 13 sec
I waited for that duration before I could see the frequency display to tune Ground Control freq for taxi.
The Comm part of the 430 begins to operate in a few seconds after power-up. It's the GPS & display that take 1:13 to initialize. So, if I had remembered to switch from CD to Ground before engine start, I could have used the radio (even though I can't see the frequency display) and began my taxi much sooner. I remember that about 50% of the time. It would be nice if it did not re-boot in the first place.

PS - In a posting a few weeks ago, someone thought that the 430 stored only 10 flight plans. It actually stores 19 flight plans plus the Active flight plan.
