As I understand it, boot speed wasn't the issue. It actually booted in the appropriate period of time.

There was simply a significant delay before the expected screen after booting appeared. That didn't mean it hadn't booted - only that Greg couldn't see anything.

That sounds to me like a video configuration issue, as though Ubuntu was trying to use a particular configuration, failing, and finally giving up and using a known good default setting.

Since the screen that actually appeared later is what Greg wanted, the known good default is just fine, and Ubuntu should use it in the first place.

Assuming the above is the case, the question is what the video configuration problem is and how to tell Ubuntu "use the default, not a custom config".
