From pressing the power on button to an open start menu (I measure like this because the DE is still unusable for a good 5s after it becomes visible) it takes me about 36 seconds.
I recently tried hibernation thinking it would speed things up, but it takes about 2 minutes… huge RAM bad I guess.
(And yes, windows on the same hardware is way faster at about 17s, because it does some magic idk about)
5 seconds? How?
My grub is set to 2sec.

Hibernation shouldn’t take long unless you actually have a lot in ram. It won’t write empty ram, it’s really more like swapping out all pages.
Maybe your ssd is just slow? Some motherboards also take their sweet time.
Windows has had a “fast startup” thing for a while where it hibernates just some parts of the OS.
I used to always disable it because I’ve run into situations where having it off prevented issues that appeared with it on.
Fortunately I don’t have to use any Windows machines on a regular basis now, so it doesn’t matter.
