What kills my boot time is my MB post really slow about 19seconds

once I'm past post screen takes about 4 seconds for windows and RR to load.

P.S

Have you run bootvis I find it really help.

No, I have not run bootvis.

I just happen to come across it in a search and also saw the nogui tweak that could shave that second off.

You pretty much nailed it on the head.

I think I'm gonna set up my extra 5400RPM HDD as a secondary drive and copy over my OS install, swap, and see if that makes any difference...
