I know there are faster ways (e.g. replacing the VM's nic rom), but I was wondering why chainloading ipxe from their virtualized e1000 produces something excruciatingly slow. There are a few milliseconds of traffic, then exactly one second of silence, then a few milliseconds of traffic, then another period of exactly one second, and so on. Is there something that could be done iPXE side to overcome those one second pauses? I think I've seen it on one hardware vendor's firmware as well, but I can't remember and the vmware configuration is probably more accessible.
