That doesn't sound right taking 10 seconds might be something wrong with your system, I'd suggest updating the bios to the latest version and load the default settings.
Mine is the same as finite3 it only takes 2 seconds
As for turning off the boot screen go into the bios and into the "boot" tab, select "boot settings configuration" now select "full screen logo" and set it to disabled.

Ubuntu as far as I know has no bearing on the bios post which is what we are talking about.
If the bios post is taking 10 seconds it could be bios or hardware related - bad hardware like RAM or something incompatible is plugged in etc.

Try changing boot order, make sure it boots to hdd first, mine took a bit linger if I had a non-bootable cd in the drive and it was set to boot from cd first in bios.
Mine is 2 sec as well.
Regarding ubuntu and grub, you can change it to boot default choice in 2 sec instead of the standard 10 sec, but that's another issue entirely ;-)
