I've been seeing very slow boots too, on F15.  I posted a short note, in 
passing, on the ATrpms list on 27 Jan.  Noone else has commented.

  'For the past week I've been seeing very slow boots, with the pauses 
apparently coinciding with 'Start and stop mysqld server' and 
'sm-client'.  It may have started with a kde-related update, or maybe 
with my move to behind a router.  Seems to work in the end but the pause 
is agonising!'
