Title: Booting with plop not as fast as it should be.

I tested Plop today for the first time.
It detected and made booting of my USB-Stick possible, just fine, on an older computer, which does not have such an option in BIOS.

However the boot time with plop, with the stick connected to an USB 2.0 PCI card, is not even close to the time, it takes the stick on a computer which supports USB boot out of BIOS.

29 seconds with BIOS support, 3 minutes with Plop
I already checked and out of the booted OS, the read speed of the Stick is identical on both machines. 25MB/s

The USB 2.0 card is a VIA VT83C572 PCI-USB Controller

Did i miss something?
