Here is a BIOS setting that you might want to adjust.
Disabling it, will free up more of your L2 cache, which
will speed up your system, somewhat.

System BIOS Cacheable

This is a legacy setting from when the hardware talked directly to the BIOS.
Modern OSes talk to the hardware using drivers so there is no need to cache
the BIOS in the L2 cache, so disable this setting.
