Hurrah!  Everyone's getting on the SuperCollider train :).  Couple of things:
1) Dan Stowell uses one of the older Asus eee netbooks for his live performances which include synthesis and processing of live inputs, hardware based on the newer Atoms would obviously be better.

2) With regards to boot time - maybe think less about that and more about the time to wake from hibernating to SSD?
