Yeow!
What are the other tests? I mean, there's the CPU, memory, the disks, PCI... surely you don't have SCSI, option ROMs should be quick... I'm genuinely curious.
What sort of server is it, for reference? (Well, I'm really just wondering how much RAM it has.)
And now I'm wondering how long the longer test takes!

IBM x3550 M3s were really bad about this. They aren't crazy big servers--dual CPU, 32GB RAM, just a couple of disks. UEFI boot took forever for no discernible reason.
