Using sanboot --no-describe to boot iso image is extremely slow compare to memdisk

I am planning to migrate mixed Syslinux + iPXE environment to pure iPXE due to chaining between Syslinux and IPXE cause lot of problem.

I have a Windows PE ISO that allow me to boot into Windows PE and perform Windows installation via network.

The pure iPXE sanboot script works but it is extremely slow:

sanboot --no-describe http://server/win7_x64.iso
goto start

Using syslinux's memdisk boot into Windows PE is very fast:

kernel syslinux.602/bios/memdisk iso
initrd http://server/win7_x64.iso
boot

Any ideas?
