I'm running kerneld as well, I get this times:

$ time ifconfig > /dev/null
real    0m0.289s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m0.000s


I disabled the ipx etc. modules in conf.modules:

  alias net-pf-3 off
  alias net-pf-4 off                      # IPX
  alias net-pf-5 off                      # DDP / appletalk
  alias net-pf-10 off                     # IPv6


Maybe that works for you too?
