MODERATORS
These days Windows boots really fast to the login screen (which has a reboot option).
If you log in, it'll start loading all the usual shit, and that will take a few moments on SSD. (And a few geological megacycles on a HDD.)
Only if you have a swap partition, and if you dual-boot then that swap partition is gonna be overwritten all the time.
What
Linux swap partitions have no bearing on Windows boot times. Or Windows in general. Windows doesn't care about partitions it doesn't recognise. (It might, on occasion, fuck with the bootloader though, but I hear it's a little bit less of a headache in UEFI days)
Fast-boot normally involves saving Windows to a swap partition and basically just half-hibernating. If that swap partition is shared with Linux it'd get overwritten and the boot method would swap to the slower one.
As far as I know there's no way to make a swap partition be exclusive to Linux or vice-versa.
Ah, I thought Windows always used its own paging file thing located on the Windows NTFS drive, and couldn't be made to use Linux swap.
If so, enabling that thing probably isn't a good idea if you are dual booting, yes. Can see all sorts of problems coming from that.
