All of our HP DC7700 (1.86GHz processors) are having this problem. It
will boot with no options to the kernel and with acpi=off. Defaults
are turned on in the bios. After about 48 hours of uptime the speed
improves by a little. 7 seconds instead of 8-10 to run the little
test. Both on 64bit and 32bit FC6 installations.
