actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
You don't need to. root is not program, its an ccount. by running sudo
-s you have gined a root shell. A better option is:
sudo -i
as all the settings will be from your users home folder and not /root
Using a different bootloader will never speed up the access to a storage
device. That simply makes no sense at all. I think you should look at
what grub2 actually does before persuing grub2
From: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html
GRUB 2 targets at the following goals:
* Scripting support, such as conditionals, loops, variables and functions.
* Graphical interface.
* Dynamic loading of modules in order to extend itself at the run time
rather than at the build time.
* Portability for various architectures.
* Internationalization. This includes support for non-ASCII character code,
message catalogs like gettext, fonts, graphics console, and so on.
* Real memory management, to make GNU GRUB more extensible.
* Modular, hierarchical, object-oriented framework for file systems, files,
devices, drives, terminals, commands, partition tables and OS loaders.
* Cross-platform installation which allows for installing GRUB from a
different architecture.
* Rescue mode saves unbootable cases. Stage 1.5 was eliminated.
* Fix design mistakes in GRUB Legacy, which could not be solved for
backward-compatibility, such as the way of numbering partitions.
At no point does it mention speed. USB is slow compared to internal PATA
/ SATA disks so the slowness is expected.
