Confirmed; on my netbook now I just get flashing (VGA) cursor after grub's menu has disappeared, then usplash, then a few seconds of flashing cursor again (framebuffer) then xsplash. Not perfect, but getting better... :-)
Total boot time from pressing return in the grub menu to the unr desktop ready for use, about 50sec.
