There's less than 1 second improvement from GRUB timeout to login prompt on the 
VM backed by SSD. 

There's maybe 4 seconds improvement on bare metal using this same "feel" 
metric. 

I haven't used gummiboot, so maybe I'll do some testing in the next cycle. For 
now, I've had quite enough of "it's a dessert topping and a floor wax" Rube 
Goldberg method of booting a computer with a UX I could hardly imagine my 
Doppelgänger inventing.

No LVM in either case. The 10s result is ext4 no journal single partition, VDI, 
VirtualBox, on OS X, on SSD. So that's two hits (vbox and xnu).
