that boot time is insane

so why does a real boot not take 8 seconds?
also when i was doing some tests on my own, when i was at a low cpu speed (6 cores at 1200mhz) i noticed cpu activity was higher, and lasted much longer than my defualt speeds, as if apps were still loading and needed some decent processing power. i doubt its related to my SSD directly, but more like just tasks running
