As you can see, there is a lag of approximately 65 seconds.

Again, is this related to my NON-UEFI thingy, or is there some other problem?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

PS: my computer is named Shatner, as in William Shatner, the one true Captain of the Enterprise!

Where is the lag of 65 seconds?

In the brackets is a timer, the difference between the second to the last time (0.245154) and the last entry (0.805853) is about (.0560699), thus the irritating lag.

OKOK the lag was about 56 seconds rather than 65 seconds... so sue me.... STILL, where is that damnable lag coming from?
I haven't used that horrible UEFI functionality yet, could that be my problem?

Make the difference 0.560699

It is 0.56 seconds, less than one second.

OK. I see what you mean. Nevertheless, while the log is being written and changing, the monitor shows a lag. So, while you are correct that there is no lag, why doesn't my monitor change for about a minute. This is only on version 4.X.X and never on version 3.X.X

Define monitor lag - no change. At what point the monitor stops changing? Does it black out for a minute? Is it during system boot or when X loads? We are not there watching over your shoulder.

It just hangs. It acts as if it was "stuck". no blanking, no nothing.
I confuses the hell out of me.
