Are there some hard numbers for coreboot initialization and bootloader payload time (from power-up/reset to the start of the OS kernel load)? Non-optimized UEFI starts up very slowly, in some cases slower than a legacy BIOS, but some optimized UEFI frameworks start up quite quickly and can begin booting within a few seconds of power on/reset. However, I suspect that even optimized UEFI is 2-3 slower than coreboot and a bootloader payload. Are there boards with both coreboot and UEFI support where the respective boot times are compared and published on the Internet?
Sincerely,
Ken Fuchs
