Bug Description
Waiting 10 seconds to start booting is too long, 3 to 5 seconds should be enough for anyone.
This is really making it look like Ubuntu is booting way to longer then it really is.
User first sees Bios POST, then Windows bootloader to choose the system, then 10 seconds waiting for GRUB and then Ubuntu starts booting... process seems to take forever and reducing the GRUB timer would really help here.

This is due to the fact that grub-installer sets the timeout to 10 seconds if other OSes are discovered. Of course in the Wubi case, menu.lst is used as second boot menu, so that a user has already a chance to change the OS in the first boot menu and hence the 10 seconds delay is not justified in this case. This was discussed briefly on IRC some time ago' but it was decided that special-casing that was probably not worth it.
