Clover takes about 1min 20 seconds to boot

Hello

Since i had to update Clover for sierra it takes over 1 minute to go from the bios screen to the apple splash logo.
around 30 second till "Welcome to clover xxxx" appears and then another 30 seconds or so "scanning for ..." etc. And then around 20 seconds till the apple logo appears.

I installed the latest version r4035, i tried the -BiosBlockIO thingie, no difference.
I am using legacy clover.

I got an intel 7 series and asmedia sata chipset, tried disabling the asmedia, no differnceon an asrock B75 pro 3 mainboard.

Help me please.

I had a similar problem, and it turned out to be related to my DVD drive. I disabled it's SATA channel from BIOS, which sped up the load time to clover boot screed from a minute to couple of seconds. Weirdly, OS X still recognizes the drive.

For troubleshooting, my method was to disable everything from BIOS except the bare essentials. Then I re-enabled them in groups, disabled again if the problem resurfaced, and slowly the root cause emerged.
