I once made a patch which scales cache in proportion to available free memory. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-03/msg00143.html That patch increased core size and it wasn't ever proved that it results in measurable boot time decrease. If you benchmark the patch and provide the results that patch can be applied. Also some (U)EFI implementations have a following bug: they take very long time to read sector if you do too much read in the row. I suppose it doesn't respect some kind of HD timings and operation request isn't accepted by hardware and so EFI waits till it timeouts to notice it. On such EFI implementations, adding grub_millisleep to grub_efidisk_read makes it work faster > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel > >
