A couple years ago (2009?) when UEFI was a newish thing, the major BIOS vendors were all boasting about how UEFI would give PCs a smartphone-like instant power-on experience - I remember Phoenix doing a demo with an SSD-equipped system, where the POST process took < 1 second and total boot time took about 10 seconds.
Fast forward to 2012, and while nearly all mobos now support UEFI, it's no faster than BIOS. In fact, booting via UEFI usually slows down the POST process and therefore should only be done if you want to install Windows on a 2.2 TB+ partition.
Is UEFI Instant Boot simply overhyped vaporware?
