Vouch, EFISTUB has been by far the fastest method of booting a Linux kernel for me. It's also prettier IMHO, since there already is a framebuffer set up with the correct resolution for my display, provided directly by the UEFI. Especially if you already compile your own kernels, IMHO, there's almost no excuse not to use EFISTUB other than if your specific firmware isn't compatible with it for whatever reason.
