I'm wondering about the boot behavior and boot time on a cMP5,1 with OpenCore/Big Sur. When power on the Mac, I can hear the chime, followed by a white screen for approx. 40 seconds until the boot picker appears. Is it a normal time-frame of about 40 seconds before the boot picker is visible? The components in the Mac are:

Dual-X5680
Nvidia GTX 680
PCIe AHCI SSD with Big Sur (Partition 1) and Mojave (Partition 2)
SATA SSD with Windows 10
2x Seagte HDD with files

Is necessary to have whatevergreen and lilu in that configuration? Or is it only for AMD GPUs? Does it reduce the boot time significantly, if I remove the kexts?
