Won't UEFI POST be faster than BIOS POST? I have seen a YouTubo video=20
about Lenovo Enhanced Experience, where POST was just 1.8 seconds with=20
UEFI. Well I don't know how long it is in BIOS mode. But on my ThinkPad=20
T42 POST is longer I feel. (Will measure it at least by counting seconds=20
when some of the next boot or resume from hibernation).
