It should not take more than ~30 seconds, even with USB 1.x. If it
takes half an hour, I suspect GRUB is doing something stupid like
reading it one sector at a time (requiring a switch to x86 mode for
every 512 bytes read)

We already do one sector at a time, I believe, to work around buggy
CF flash implementations. Still, I don't see how it could take 30
minutes unless there were other problems at play.
