Would the bios drive order translation account for the slowness of

The BIOS will be used to read the drive to begin booting a system, but
Linux uses its own drivers post-boot. So the problem would be
elsewhere.
Very slow graphics smacks of other issues: Video drivers, or even
networking (name resolution, chiefly).
