What media are you loading from?  From personal experience, I've found
CDs the slowest, especially slim drives, with TFTP, HDD and flash to
be very close but dependent on a few variables.  A simple optimization
on CDs is to reduce the random seeking by naming files in a line
(preferably with nothing inbetween).  I think names of isolinux.bin,
isolinux.cfg, vesamenu.c32 and vesamenu.cfg should cram these files
together in sequence in an ISO.
