True in many cases, I agree. But BIOS settings can have big influence on
this too. For example: I don't have a floppy disk drive connected at
all. But if I disable it from BIOS, loading the kernel takes 2 secs more
than if I had it enabled. So grub is someway confused. Maybe a BIOS or
Grub bug.

But there are options in BIOS which might make it faster to reach Grub.
Hopefully we'll see faster BIOS loading in the future, too.
