My understanding is that BIOSes still boot through kind of a legacy 32-bit path and UEFI boots straight 64-bit with all the bells and whistles. In fact: % file /boot/loader /boot/loader: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged executable # Slow 32bit? % file /boot/loader.efi /boot/loader.efi: PE32+ executable (EFI application) x86-64, for MS Windows # Fast 64bit? Whether this amounts to faster boot, we'll see.
