I have used grub-efi. At first, I was impressed with the fast boot time. However now that I have experience with several older BIOS based setup, I am now unsure by how much I can attribute the fast boot time to UEFI vs Arch slimness. To be honest, I had 0 problem with installation and UEFI usage. Beside installation, there is very few noticeable difference between BIOS and UEFI. I have insisted to use it just because I had a MB capable of UEFI. If you want to try UEFI, my advice is. Go for it, there is not much risk to do it but do not expect a big change. This won't shake your world! ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.
