Bug#477083: grub-pc: Is excruciatingly slow when compared to grub (legacy)

[Christian Meyer]

I can confirm this behaviour, especially "takes 10 seconds to get to the menu" (#476479) on REAL Hardware.
I'm cainloading grub2 via grub legacy [kernel (hd0,8)/boot/grub/core.img]

My hardware:
AMD Duron 1200 (K7)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7VKML KM266
256 MB DDR-RAM


On-Board LAN (Build in RTL8100L Chipset)
Sound on Board (AC97)
Video on board, /var/log/xorg.0.log says:
     (**) |   |-->Device "S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]"
     (--) Chipset ProSavageDDR found

2 Harddisks, 9 + 2 Partitions, various filesystems
BIOS: Licensed AMI BIOS, 2M bit Flash ROM
