"Quick Boot" Is a BIOS feature.
During the power on self test, the BIOS checks the hardware devices and counts the system memory. Out of all of the different types of system memory, the random access memory takes the longest to be counted. Counting the RAM takes time, and on a machine that has large amounts of RAM, this calculation can take several seconds.
In addition to the RAM counting, a few other tests are conducted to ensure that all of the hardware in your computer is working properly.
All of these system tests are not needed every time that you boot, and can be turned off at boot time. Most system BIOS offer a feature called "quick boot." This feature will allow the user to turn off these extraneous tests. Other BIOS allow only the memory check to be turned off.
Enabling the "quick boot" feature or the disabling of the memory check will not do any harm your system. The downside to disabling the tests is in the rare situation in which your RAM becomes damaged; the BIOS will not catch it and you may receive errors from the operating system and your system could become unstable. If you notice that your system becomes unstable and crashes frequently or will not even boot, go back into the BIOS and disable "quick boot" or re-enable the tests to find out if your system's memory is causing problems.
