The long boot time was present before I installed the mAudio card, so

Hey Michael I had the same problem as you when I put a flashed GeForce
6200 in my Quicksilver (2001) where the boot times had gotten
ridiculously slow, the problem is a kext file, this is quoted directly
from Low End Mac:

a Dual 450 Sawtooth system and booting off the internal IDE bus takes less than
a minute to desktop, including a pause for login.
