Don't turn off any ide or sata in bios
Do change from auto to none under each device in bios that does not have a device attached
Result = No waiting instantly boots into OS

Not sure aobut overall disk performance, but the system feels more responsive.
But the main thing is boot time.
From pressing power switch to being in osx less than 50 seconds
from bootloader message to osx in about 18 seconds

I tried to put AppleNForceATA inside the Plugins directory of IOATAFamily but performances were less high than if I put it in Extensions directory.
So it must be different for each systems.
I can add your advice in the wiki if it works for other peoples.
hmmm... my results were nothing like this. it actually reduced my boot time by 1 - 5 seconds and still sits at a total of about a minute and a half and I lost DVD support via my SATA controller. I've switched back as my motherboard only has SATA (no IDE) and I still write with an external burner. ah well. we'll keep hoping for someday in the future.
