Can you say specifically where it's being slow? Most of my boxes take about 80 seconds from the time it stops answering ping to the time that it starts again. (So that's shutdown of filesystems, BIOS reboot, grub with its 5 second pause, kernel load, initrd load with a further 5 second pause and then bootup to network). Having not only specific time differences to work from, but also where it's taking the time would be useful to know. It really shouldn't spend a significant amount of time in the initrd at all.
