I think the 15 seconds comes from the CMS server side. CMS servers come up much faster than a full operating system (such as Linux).
I don't have much delay between each Linux startup, however, I do start the production servers such as NFS first, then delay 5 minutes (sometimes a file system check is forced), then startup the normal production servers, wait 15 minutes, and then start the test servers. Plan on the worse case of each server needing to do a file system check. Uggg.
