Hi,
Our new windows 8.1 update 1 deployment takes over 8-9 minutes for proccessing the OOBE and user first boot/login.
It's a mui deployment with 33 languages .
I've checked the setupact.log and found these 2 "lags" :
Location : C:\Windows\Panther\UnattendGC (OOBE)
2014-08-13 08:22:10, Info [msoobe.exe] Calculated OOBE STARTUP FLAGS: [0x00000000]

Also when I do the OOBE step without internet connection it only takes 5 minutes...
