 It's probably that I have lots of services running then!

 I always wanted to work on a boot process that used "make" instead of
/etc/rc.d - so that some parts could run in parallel, with make resolving
dependancies...it's about the only way a workstation with snmpd, apache
etc. could boot quickly...
