The slowness you see with NVME isn't in boot anymore - instead it's in BIOS. As memory times get faster, it takes longer for the motherboard to train to hit those XMP targets, especially with memory still super far away from the CPU. For me, rebooting has ~20 seconds of staring at a blank screen with the Motherboard doing memory training/initialization on 6000 MHz ram.
