In the conf.d/rc you can set RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes" so that certain scripts will start in parallel. I noticed that the hotplug script seems to be vicitm of a race, as most of the times it works, but sometimes on boot-up Iget "Warning hotplug has already been started" and once it even this warning wasn't prevented in a race thus the srcipt ran twice at the same time, giving a delay, but everything worked nonetheless. (If above setting is set to "no", there are no problems." I don't know what kind of information you need. but I think this would be needed (I am using udev, but I don't know whether it makes a difference).

What is hotplug racing with? The network scripts?
Well, I don't know. How to find out?
Closed due to lack of info.
