Hi, I believe this is caused by the read algorithm of grub2. If the file is continuous, grub legacy will read it in one pass, while grub2 will break it up into small blocks, this will slow it down dramatically. I haven't tested efi, but in bios mode, sometimes it takes twice as long for grub2 to read the same file.
