Here's a clue:
I built a 2.0.0 kernel that used dynamically loadable modules whereever
possible. I get delays during system startup and sometimes when I use
other network-related processes. It's not killing me, but I will be
getting around to building kernels that are "tuned" for the typical role
of each machine. I haven't analyzed it, but suspect that some longer
delays are caused because more than a single kernel module needs to be
loaded. This is just an opinion based on disk sound.
