Help - reverted to OG Monterey on my MBP 2015 and now boot is very sloooooooow

So I used OCL to get to Sequoia and was quite pleased until I tried to run youtube videos - then the windowserver process took up 150-300% of the CPU and ran the fans up.

Decided to revert back to Monterey and booted from the MacOS internet recovery facility, wiped _everything_ (top level disk on down) and re-installed Monterey. Then re-installed Monterey again without restoring my data and the Sequoia preference data, then restored just my $HOME data and applications. And not the preferences.

Seems to be working fine, but the boot process is taking a loooong time.

I assumed that wiping the disk completely would remove OCLP, but are there artifacts still left in NVRAM? When it boots I'll do a PRAM reset, but wondered if there was more to do.

(Uninstall guide seems to think complete wipe is sufficient, but thought I'd check.)
