It may also require unlocking the harddisk, waiting for the computer to boot, repopulating caches ... Requesting to reboot may also give some bad press - "Rebooting, is this Windows??? ROFL!!!"
  
  
  I'm talking more about UX than technical concerns. Rebooting can be accomplished with a single button; logging out and back in requires a multi-step process that offers more ways for a user to mess it up.
