This all depends on how do you measure the boot process. By console login? 

tsoome at beastie:/code/illumos-gate$ svcs -d console-login | sort -u
disabled       apr_30   svc:/system/auditd:default
online         apr_30   svc:/milestone/sysconfig:default
online         apr_30   svc:/system/console-login:default
online         apr_30   svc:/system/filesystem/minimal:default

online         apr_30   svc:/system/utmp:default
online         apr_30   svc:/system/vtdaemon:default

and

tsoome at beastie:/code/illumos-gate$ svcs -d lightdm

online         apr_30   svc:/milestone/multi-user:default

See, the console-login depends on few services and will be running pretty quick; lightdm depends on multi-user milestone, which means, everything else will bestarted before gui login appears.

So, if you want to compare apples to apples, (oi and omnios), disable the lightdm;)

Why lightdm depends on multi-user is another (old) topic.
