Asus BootBooster only works with reboot

Hello.
I have ASUS 1001HA netbook.
I installed on it Archlinux. GRUB was installed in MBR.

fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x845a4551

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        1947    15639246    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            1948        5797    30925125   83  Linux

/dev/sda4           19452       19457       48195   ef  EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
/dev/sda5            5798       10935    41270953+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6           10936       11196     2096451   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7           11197       13759    20587266   83  Linux
/dev/sda8           13760       15684    15462531   83  Linux
/dev/sda9           15685       19451    30258396    7  HPFS/NTFS

As you can see the EFI partition is the last and was not modified.

Problem:
I enabled BootBooster option in BIOS. Every time when I turn on my laptop GRUB loads very slow(before GRUB there are POST messages).
However when I *reboot* laptop GRUB loads very quickly(no POST messages).

Has anyone had a similar problem?
I installed standard DOS/Windows boot loader in MBR and GRUB on Linux partition, but didn't help.
I want quickly GRUB load every time. How can I fix this?

Sorry for my english.
