I don't know if it's relevant... but there is a situation that is maybe
similar when my MacBook boots up (before it even gets to GRUB), if
there's a CD in the drive, it wastes about 15 extra seconds spinning it
up to look at it, even if I'm not booting from CD. So that might be a
sort of thing to watch out for, when making GRUB search?
