Whenever I have to reboot my Tour, it takes a good 6+ minutes until I can do anything again. Does this happen to anyone else, and is there any way around it?
I don't think there's a way around it. Its like turning on your home computer or laptop, its going to take a certain time to load everything no matter what. With windows you can turn some stuff off to boot faster but thats a windows environment.
When I got my Tour it took about that long, if not longer to boot. I've since loaded it up with the Tour Hybrid v7.0 (and all the ones that came before that), which gets the boot time to about 3ish minutes. I'd recommend the Hybrid, but if you're not comfortable with that, go with the "leaked" .53 firmware, as it's official (kinda) and improves the boot time (plus other bugs).
on .40 my tour took forever to boot up, but i just upgraded to .53 and now my tour boots up under 3min. boot times will decrease drastically with new software updates.
usually around 3 minutes, but you shouldnt have to reboot your phone more than once a day and that is with extremely heavy use. Just download quickpull lite for free, set it to auto reboot while you are sleeping, I set mine for 5am, never have to reset other than that.
Mine is also 6-7 minutes. I would love if it was faster but it's tolerable knowing it's a small computer and the backbone of my business. I can handle being without my phone for 7 minutes every ~14 hours.

I think the more apps you have installed, the more longer it takes to load up and the less apps the faster the OS will load. I deleted a bunch of unnecessary apps like App Center NOT App World and it loads up in 3 minutes.
