Hmm. I take that back. It's not consistent, and it's not recent after all. 

It comes and goes:

note how it's pretty consistently at about the 0.89s mark, but then 
there's a _couple_ of times when it's taken rather longer to boot. But the 
delay is always in that CPU bringup phase, because doing the same grep for 
"CPU 0 MCA" gives consistently low numbers (0.0005s).
