Hello,
It seems Seabios is still running after jumping to the boot sector. Why is the application not finalized in call_boot_entry for example ? Disk operations are handled until linux or windows boots because Seabios is still running which is unnecessary. It slows Grub2 or Windows Boot Manager I think.
After jumping to the OS, SeaBIOS only runs when the OS calls it, or one of its hardware irq handlers runs. This is a requirement for proper operation.
Why do you think this slows down your machine?

Are you working on such an improvement or is it a known problem ?
Hope this helps.
