Hi All,
First want to thank everyone again in the greater OSx86 community.
I have noticed an issue where the chameleon interface itself lags badly on both i7 systems i have put together. Since i have only built two i7 Hacs so far i cant say for sure if this affects all of them. I can say it appears isolated to i7 platforms (I have built many, many systems using core2 platforms and none of them have had this problem).
In the other systems i have built the chameleon interface is snappy. Typing in boot flags or selecting different boot drives works as you would expect.
But on both i7 systems i have the interface is very slow, with noticeable lag when typing, navigating, etc. Most annoying though is that the timeout, set to 3 seconds, goes very slowly, taking over 10 seconds to continue the boot.
Also, once leaving the chameleon screen (entering the grey boot screen) things go quickly again as they should and performance in OS X is great. It just in the chameleon screen that there is this lag.
Consistent with these findings, using the -v command, the first kexts and chameleon loaded items display very slowly one at a time down the screen, then once it enters the usual black screen everything else loads quickly.
I cant be the only one noticing this. But i cant find any topics discussing.
Are other users seeing this? is it i7 only?
Thanks,

some system basics on the two i7 affected:
one is an Asus P6T7 WS based system, the other is a gigabyte EX58 based system, so both rather different MB designs.
