[U-Boot] Delay in U-boot Booting , Running U-boot from NOR Flash

Hi, I am using u-boot-2010.03 version, ported u-boot for MIPS32 AU13xx series. U-boot is taking 5-7 seconds to boot after power up.
u-boot.bin is programmed in NOR Flash.
Is there any option to skip relocating to DDR2 (SDRAM) so that I want to check booting u-boot from NOR Flash itself.
Please let me know what is the reason behind this and any solutions to this.
Thanks in Advance
With Regards, Gurumurthy Gowdar

What is your "bootdelay" setting?

There is no such option. What makes you think this would give you any measurable reduction of boot time?
