UEFI vs. BIOS boot speed Lenovo X120e review

[ANOKNUSA84]

The only speed-related improvement related to UEFI is a shorter post time, which means the rate at which an OS boots can only be shortened by a few seconds at the most. People likely to see the best performance enhancements are people with multi-boot systems, as I believe UEFI can initialize hardware and load kernel files asynchronously (I might be totally wrong on that, though :P ). If all you want is a shorter boot time, invest in a better processor and an SSD.

So, what's your point? That UEFI and BIOS takes an equal amount of time (about 13 seconds) to do POST and load the bootloader, on the same machine?

you have to install windows 8 to see the big difference.

Windows 7 is not optimized to uefi only 8 is.

@hraqhraq Uhh.. UEFI and BIOS are nothing to do with OS?

[Daputaka]

The way I understand it, UEFI increases boot time NOT loading time. UEFI cannot improve anything about Windows loading time.
