I think a part of the startup hit is from rebuilding aliases
unconditionally. That should be considered a bug and removed from the
sendmail init script (or at least changed to check if aliases is newer
than aliases.db before calling).
There's a reason sendmail removed auto-rebuilding aliases from the
daemon itself.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
