Bug#630926: grub-pc: Grub-pc boots extremely slow depending on 'AGP Apperture Size' value

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-6
Severity: normal
I recently upgraded my computer, from 1GB of RAM to 4GB (1GB x 4 Corsair Memory all alike). Suddently, Grub was really,
really slow when booting. The grub's loading message remains on the screen during 20-30secs before boot. I removed the
memory and when the computer had 2GB of RAM grub booted normally. I set the memory back and the last feature I didn't
check was the 'AGP Apperture Size' in the BIOS. It was set to 256Mb and I reduced it step by step. When AGP Apperture Size
was set to 4Mb Grub booted normally.
After that I downgraded to grub-legacy, set AGP Apperture Size back to 256Mb and grub booted normally as well. Then
I upgraded to grub-pc and grub booted slow again. I can't leave AGP Apperture Size to 4Mb because openGL performance is
bad as hell (glxgears runs at less than 1fps).
So I think there is a problem with grub-pc. Meanwhile, I'm installing grub-legacy.
