If you also add -Djboss.server.log.threshold=INFO as well (which makes 
little difference in total output, but filters log messages much sooner), 
you might gain a couple more seconds (mine went from 44 to 42).

Then perhaps the global threshold should also be INFO.

This is a side-effect of using a MC schema deployer.  If this is 
undesirable it can be addressed, theoretically anyway.
