Comment 112 for bug 420933

After updating grub to PPA, then deleting ubuntu on hard drive, it seems that loading grub only hard disk thrash for 1 second, then 2 silent seconds, then grub options appear.
I doubt it will get any better than this. I think ubuntu on hard drive is what caused most of the hard drive thrashing (had to search 5 partitions instead of current 2 for grub).
