Splash screen: How long is the startup?

This question is for people who have already received and tested their circuit sword.
I am waiting for mine coming with the May/June batch. In the meantime I am trying to get as many things as I can ready. One of them is I am trying to edit a custom splash screen video. I created one that lasts about 35 seconds, based on my pi zero build, but then I thought that maybe the CM3 loads faster? I know it also depends on the contents of the games libraries and I am more on the "Gotta catch em all" side. My libraries are full.
Can anyone tell me how long their Circuit sword takes to load? If you have done a custom splash video, how long was it?
Thanks !

I got mine down to ~16 seconds total from flipping the switch to getting dropped into EmulationStation, but the splash doesn't appear until about 7 seconds into that. This includes EmulationStation startup time too as I disabled the ES splash. Booting was 2-3 seconds longer until I uninstalled Samba.
