Slow BIOS booting

I have the following USB devices attached:

 

  • Belkin n52te
  • Logitech Driving Force Pro
  • Logitech G9
  • TactX keyboard

 

When starting from a cold boot, it takes 59 seconds to get through the BIOS to the boot menu (F12).

From that point, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium takes 1:44 to get to the login screen.

This seems like a very long time.  Almost 3 minutes total from cold boot.

I listed the USB devices in case one of these is causing extra delay.  It takes 45 seconds from cold boot for the Driving Force Pro wheel to self-calibrate.

Is this normal, even with 2x 10K rpm drives in RAID 0?

Is there a way to turn off "memory testing" or anything else that is causing extra time?  I've tried hitting ESC during the BIOS to skip any memory test, but it doesn't change.  I also turned off my RAID OptionRom to shave a couple of seconds.
