My first mac (a quadra 650) took forever to boot up and forever to launch an app. But quitting or shutting down? Quite speedy. This day and age, i am running a dual 2.6 MacPro And while InDesign(for example) launches lickity split. It take 67 seconds to quit! Over a minute! Just about all my apps take at least 2 or 3 times longer to quit than launch. Even the machine boots up in almost no time. But shutting down...it just churns and churns and churns. I'm guess its virtual memory? The hard disk seems to work overtime whenever I shut anything down.
