This was primarily due to Grub 2 hanging for nearly 35 seconds each boot.

I haven’t the time to figure out what Grub is trying to do in that amount of time, but I did notice a solution. I have three HDDs. In the BIOS, it was set as the third boot device. By moving it to the top, Grub quickly moved along to boot Ubuntu.
