No I don't think they are.
I think they were installed along with the EFI I grabbed in the OC 7.4 miniguide, or got installed when I was working on things and I never got around to removing them
 
Thanks!
I just realized I forgot to remove my smbios info from my config.plist. :|
I edited my post to remove the EFI.
I've also removed your serial numbers from the config.plist I posted above.
 
I've also removed your serial numbers from the config.plist I posted above.
may be worth disabling:
Code:
<key>AppleDebug</key>
            <true/>
            <key>ApplePanic</key>
            <true/>

and removing:
keepsyms=1 debug=0x100
which should result in a quicker boot
 
** Experiencing Slow Boot Times in Monterey? **

Please try this and report your results:
  • In Terminal, type:
Bash:
log show --last boot | grep "trims took"
  • Give it a few seconds to run then press CTRL-C to stop.
  • Post the output.
Here's the result from my Z490 Vision D with release version of Monterey:
Code:
kernel: (apfs) spaceman_scan_free_blocks:3153: disk3 scan took 1.913441 s, trims took 1.786507 s
kernel: (apfs) spaceman_scan_free_blocks:3153: disk2 scan took 2.299866 s, trims took 2.262432 s
Note that both operations took less than 3 seconds.

I have noticed a significant increase in boot times with my Z390 Designare (flashed TB chip) with every beta release of Monterey. I thought with the final release version there might be an improvement, but that is not the case.

I have two 500 GB Samsung 970 EVO SSDs. I confirmed both have the latest firmware. One for macOS and one for Windows. I have never experienced any slow boot issues with any OS I have run.

I have an external TB3 enclosure that contains a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO SSD, with the latest firmware, that I plug into the Z390's TB port to hold bootable backups of Big Sur and Monterey. I decided to also time the boot time using TB.

All boot times listed are using the same EFI folder using OC 0.7.4. Tweaks suggested in prior thread posts to improve boot times were tried, but made no significant difference:

Big Sur 11.6 - 34 Seconds
Monterey 12.0.1 (internal SSD) - 68 Seconds
Monterey 12.0.1 (external TB3) - 34 Seconds

During the Monterey boot using the internal SSD, booting stalls at one point for about 35 seconds. This accounts for all the additional boot time. This screen shot shows the stall point. A Mac expert may be able to decipher why this is happening.

When booting Monterey from the TB external drive it flies right through this code.

Here's the System Report for the TB Device Tree.

Here's the System Report for the NVMExpress:

This info seems to indicate that Monterey has introduced some compatibility issue between the NVMe board hardware and the Samsung 970 EVO.

What's a surprise to me is the boot performance of the Samsung 970 EVO over TB3.

Boot times are not very important for me as it is easy enough to sleep the system.
 
These cards can sometimes be tricky. We should try moving them to a different PCIe slot, enabling or disabling CSM Support, performing CMOS Reset (then configure BIOS parameters again), etc. Before giving up on the card you have, it would be good to go through some or all of these steps.

Unfortunately there isn’t a newer version of the Fenvi that is natively supported in macOS. I do hope they release a Broadcom-based WiFi 6 / BT 5.x card though.
CSM on/off didn't change anything for me unfortunately. I also tried Platform Power Management in BIOS enabled/disabled, which also doesn't see to affect anything.

I realize that this card should work natively, but I decided to add this kext - https://github.com/acidanthera/AirportBrcmFixup/releases/tag/2.1.3
to OC 0.7.4.

Now Airdrop works for some reason. Sees my devices, initiates the transfer about 80% of the time. Weird.

Not sure what's going on, but it seems that the new kexts work?

Can you run this command in Terminal:
Bash:
log show --last boot | grep "trims took"

... and press CTRL-C after about 15 seconds. I'd like to see if there are any trim operations that consume either 68 or 34 seconds to account for the delays you experienced.
 
Please post screenshot of OpenCore Configurator --> Kernel. This will show the kext configuration.

Please note, my machine won't boot if I enable the IntelBluetoothinjector. It's been this way from the outset. Thanks.
 
** Experiencing Slow Boot Times in Monterey? **

Please try this and report your results:
  • In Terminal, type:
Bash:
log show --last boot | grep "trims took"
  • Give it a few seconds to run then press CTRL-C to stop.
  • Post the output.
Here's the result from my Z490 Vision D with release version of Monterey:
Code:
kernel: (apfs) spaceman_scan_free_blocks:3153: disk3 scan took 1.913441 s, trims took 1.786507 s
kernel: (apfs) spaceman_scan_free_blocks:3153: disk2 scan took 2.299866 s, trims took 2.262432 s
Note that both operations took less than 3 seconds.
Hi @CaseySJ... hope you are fine....

I'm definitively with problems on my boot time on Monterey, which is taking way too long... here's my output:

kernel: (apfs) spaceman_scan_free_blocks:3153: disk3 scan took 204.819595 s, trims took 204.469358 s
kernel: (apfs) spaceman_scan_free_blocks:3153: disk6 scan took 4.581236 s, trims took 4.018021 s
kernel: (apfs) spaceman_scan_free_blocks:3153: disk4 scan took 42.122163 s, trims took 41.525545 s
