Booting is significantly faster with Secure Boot enabled, but still not as fast as it should be.
Solutions you've tried
Using OvmfPkg/LocalApicTimerDxe/LocalApicTimerDxe.inf instead of HPET makes it boot faster, but it also makes the delays shorter, up to a point where tests can't traverse iPXE menu before autoboot, which should normally should take 3 seconds. It may be controlled by modifying gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFSBClock (MdePkg defines it as 200M, while most of OVMF platforms use 1G), however I haven't tested how it would work on other platforms.

Brief summary
Booting takes 15-25 seconds before logo is shown. In addition, saving multiple UEFI variables at once (e.g. restoring default SB keys) is also slow.
How reproducible

How to reproduce
Start with ./qemu_run.sh graphic firmware and wait for logo.
