I have a similar setup to you, mine takes about 25 seconds from powering up on a cold start to being able to use the computer.

You mention standby, if that is what you are using it will take a little longer to start. Standby and hibernate are really only for laptops, and have no use on a desktop computer.

You would be better in setting up the powering off of the monitor after 10 minutes...
