What's the Average Boot up time for Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.1

My MacBook air (M1,2020) boot up time with MacOS BigSur 11.2.1 is ranging from 22 seconds to 23 seconds.

Is this the average boot up time ? My friends with the same device experience faster boot up duration ranging from 17 to 19 seconds. Should I be worried ?

I don't have any login items slowing down my boot up.

My boot time with a 2017 27" iMac with 16 GB RAM and a SSD hard drive is 35-40 seconds with 3 external HDs connected., 2 SSDs and an HD. I certainly wouldn't be concerned over a 4-5 second difference. It'll depend on what software is installed and how may apps are in the System/Users & Groups/Startup Items preference pane and the amount of free space on the drive.
