As you will notice I mentioned "when not dual booting" you can set it that low for seeing a faster startup. Either in the msconfig utility or manually editing the boot.ini file you can always see that brought back up anyways if you decide to dual boot.
By then you will likely be reinstalling Windows seeing the defaults returned then. Currently it's set to 3 seconds here since Vista was intentionally made a stand alone install on a separate drive over the last build seeing a 3way boot of XP Home, Pro, and Vista there.
But when just running one OS it does actually help speed things up.
