Jokes aside: You have to count the time from starting to boot Windows to restarting it, letting the computer do its pre-boot whatver-it-does-es, to back to grub.
Ah! You’re moving goalposts! The meme is about choosing an OS at boot time, not up, down, up again.
I’m in the game less than 60-seconds from that point. And that’s on an old i5-1135G7 NUC, 32GB DDR4, god knows how old the SSD is, been through 3 PCs without a Windows reinstall.
Yes, Linux almost always smokes Windows on a reboot, but it’s not that big of a deal anymore.
CAVEAT: I should note my Windows install is from an official ISO, not some manufacturer’s crapware.
My old i5 boots to Windows in less than a minute, fully functional.
Is it Windows 98?

That almost never happens for me and even when it does, it’s pretty fast.
I almost miss the grinding sound old hard drives made when booting up windows 98 and older
