LatticeXP2: Is the download/configuration time from Internal/External SPI Flash different while using Dual Boot Mode in LatticeXP2 device?

While using Dual Boot Mode, the configuration time (time required for the
bitstream to get configured inside the device) from Internal Flash is less. Data transfer is faster because the Internal Flash interface with
SRAM is parallel, whereas it is a serial interface in case of the External SPI
Flash. 

So, the required time is more when the device boots from
External SPI Flash.
