Why do bios step rograms include an option to shadow the video bios?

Bios step programs include an option to shadow the video BIOS to enhance the graphics performance and system stability during the boot process. By copying the video BIOS from ROM to RAM, the system can access it more quickly, reducing latency when initializing the graphics hardware. This shadowing technique can also protect the video BIOS from corruption and improve overall system responsiveness. Additionally, it allows for quicker access to video settings, which can aid in troubleshooting and configuration.
