Not directly, but fan vibration could cause an imperfect write leading to later 
slow reads.  If the reads are part of the boot process, then the boot process 
would be slowed.

In my case, a particular application was very slow to load.  (not a boot 
process load)  Spinrite cleaned up the disk and cured the slow load.  I'm 
speculating that the slow read of the executable file was due to a bad write in 
the past, caused by fan vibration.  Fan is in the docking station enclosure of 
the hard drive.  "Mobile Rack"
