On VM it isn't 2 seconds of course, or is it? *goes testing*

On my KVM accelerated QEMU VM it's 6 seconds from the expiring of the 
boot loader timeout to usable GUI. It might not beat Ubuntu (yet? ;) ), 
but it's nevertheless rather fast to boot. During normal usage it's 
sometimes a bit flacky though...
