Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

Using a CD-R, with the natty desktop image dated 2011-03-28:
On my 1.73GHz Celeron, it takes 2 minutes, 45 seconds to get to the Try Ubuntu screen. It takes an addition 1 minute to get a useable desktop.

On my 2.8GHz P4, it takes 2 minutes, 28 seconds to get to the Try Ubuntu screen and an additional 58 seconds to get the desktop.

Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

There were multiple boot speed improvements to Oneiric. Is this still an issue when booting Oneiric on the same hardware?
