Bug#791392: splash / logo / menu screen appears slowly

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.02~beta2-22
Severity: important

Since upgrading to jessie, grub has been using a graphical mode by default

It paints a background image before displaying the menu

The background image appears very slowly, it appears to draw one line at
a time, starting from the bottom of the screen.

After the background image, it then draws a border, this is also drawn
painfully slowly.

This makes a bad first impression of jessie after upgrading so I marked
this bug important.
