If fact, I feel the speed limiting factor exists between monitor and chair. For example, I cannot type as fast as I can think.

It depends. When you using example menu start with 5 second. Then waiting for loading all stuff it takes some 60 second or more but it is very funny watching how it loading like a hackintosh or apple operative system. I remember Mint was faster but it could change long time don't tried him.

On my Zorin 15.3 my boot load time usually take 30 seconds or not less than 25 seconds. I don't know for the 16 version coz I'm waiting for the direct upgrade.

Mine is
startup finished in 5.736s (kernel) + 54.470s (userspace) = 1min 206ms
graphical.target reached after 54.383s in userspace it took 1 minute to boot. Its still decent cuz the laptop is old and slow.
I am not count how fast boot but Zorin is very fast to response anything what you want open or anything what can save time when you lost when Zorin started. 
i installed zorin on ssd and this is my systemd-blame. it'so fast that i'm not aware about boot time beside the choosing screen because of dual boot with windows
