I'd check the archives for more details. I bet these are "legacy free" machines, right? I recently noticed that recent Intel chipsets cause incredibly long delays when non-existent ISA ports are accessed, most notably AT keyboard ports. (My gut tells me it is going in and out of SMM repeatedly for nothing.) Back in the old days, when we had real ISA bus, it used to delay very short and fixed amount time. Those days, this behaviour was even (ab)used as a delay function where a real timer is not available yet. ;-) Try getting rid of all unnecessary device drivers from your kernel configuration.
