Hi, What is the fast boot option in the settings and what does it do and should I turn it on or off?

Thanks

It makes the phone boot up a lot quicker.
You might need to turn it off to get into CWM instead of pulling out the battery. J

It basically puts the phone into a deep sleep keeping it in memory so it boots quick

Just reboot your phone regularly and hold Volume+ while it reboots and it will go to recovery mode, even if Fast boot option is enabled.

So it does ,
I am sure it didn't on GB. Maybe something to do with the unlocked boot loader on ICS,  but only guessing .
Cheers for pointing that out to me as I never tick it now so I can get into CWM .
Will keep it ticked now though. J

Believe it or not, I accidentaly discovered this. ;-)

Ok, Thanks! On mine it doesn't seem to make any difference to the booting, even though I am running ICS and the latest version of Vodafone's ROMs!

You can always use Quick Boot app to boot into recovery / shut down / go to bootloader. Works great on Stock +,even if Fast Boot is enabled. Saves wear on the power button too!

Would that make fast boot make booting faster?

EDIT:
Sorry, I mean would that app make the fast boot option in the settings menu make the booting of the phone faster than when it is off

(Sorry I just read that and realised it made no sense whatsoever!)

It doesn't make Fast Boot any quicker. It just gives you more reboot options (like CM9) than the standard power off or reboot.

Oh, OK, I will defiantly download that and see if it works on my phone, as I can never remember which one is the recovery mode button, volume up or down with the power button!
