huge boot time without using cpus=1 boot arg

[zeeshan hamdani]

Hiii,

I was recently able to install catalina 10.15.4 on my HP 15 laptop.

Specs: 

Core i5 7200u

8GB RAM

1 TB + 256 GB HDD

AMD R5 M430.(I do not need this in Hackintosh).

When I boot with cpus=1 the boot process takes about 40secs to a minute. (Acceptable given it's a 7200rpm hard drive). Without it boot time jumps up to to 3 - 4 mins. I have VoodooTSCSync kext in my efi folder. Is that even required? I used rehabmans intel hd 620 config and modified it a little for my laptop. I've attach the results from run_me diagnostic app.

Hoping to hear from someone soon.

Thanks.

And I also wanted to let you know that when I boot without cpus=1 the OS performance really bad. Keeps freezing. With cpus=1 or cpus=2, I can get much better performance. Still I'd love to boot without this boot args as the OS cannot utilize the CPU to the fullest.

I checked and kernel lapic was already ticked. Checked via Clover configurator.

I remember there was a webpage on this website with efi folders with proper labels. Mine was notebook chipsets series (Kaby lake). Cant find that webpage any more. 

Edit:

I found the webpage through a quick google search.

Thanks.

Thank you so much. ?

I'll try this out first thing in the morning and I'll leave a feedback. Currently, it's 4.30am here.

So I tried the EFI Folder. There is definitely a performance boost (still random freezes sometimes). The display brightness is now adjustable and the laptop can go to sleep. But the boot time is still the same.
