Late 2013 slow boot

I recently bought a late 2013 15" mbp. After I installed bootcamp with windows 7 my computer displays the white screen at start up for a much longer time than usual (5-10 sec). Pressing the option key does not speed up the process. Is this normal, and if not, how can i speed this up?

Also i'd like to ask if it is possible to set a 'default' boot option. My previous MBP (2009) booted by default OS X and I had to press option to get into windows. My current laptop seems boot into whatever it was last booted in.

Seems odd. It's not supposed to be at the white screen for over 5 seconds.

To set the default boot option, in OS X, go to System Preferences → Startup Disk and select your OS X partition as the default disk.
 
I only have one option there somehow...:confused:

No idea. I do however have bootcamp in my list of devices..

Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on here?
 
Found a solution for the disappearance of the bootcamp partition in the startup disk settings menu. Deleting Paragon NTFS for mac made it show up again

*EDIT*

It also solved the issue of slow booting. Which means my problem is solved :)
