I thought debian's boot loop was wierd, but check ArchLinux's grub behavior?! It renders *very slowly* as it draws the main boot menu. If I turn off the video/graphics stuff, it boots almost instantly in the console... amazing.

Narrowed it down to possibly the graphics device not supporting vga and grub, only on arch linux, behaving poorly in this situation? Slow grub: -device virtio-gpu-gl-pci Fast: -device virtio-gpu-pci Fast: -device virtio-vga-gl

@whack@hachyderm.io Is tty speed set really low on the viewer perhaps?
