You're lucky, is all I can say. All the one's I've tried (from old Itaniums,
which are close enough, and new servers, which are UEFI) are very slow.

That might make sense, if Moblin V2 Core was a hardware spec. It's not:

Furthermore, those were stock non-EFI hardware platforms in the demo.
Unless you're saying that the Moblin ISO silently replaces your BIOS
with UEFI. Which would be entertaining.
